OpenPKG built from source on files.kolab.org, version 2.2.4.

System runs in kvm with qemu64 processor, has been running for years.

It is a minimal debian install, from the netinstall system + ssh,rsync,nfs, 
tcl, build utils and a couple of perl libraries.  Postgrey is supplied by 
debian, the rest is openpkg.  There is no other smtp server, just the kolab 
postfix.

 real file /usr/lib/libltdl.so.7 symlinked to  /usr/lib/libltdl.so.3

The information about not being able to find libltdl.so.3 was in the postfix 
log: 

postfix.log.4:Feb 22 22:24:56 kolab <info> postfix/pipe[27496]: 298BD68001: 
to=<marko at mechtron.com.au>, relay=kolabfilter, delay=1.8, 
delays=1.7/0.02/0/0.15, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (Command died with status 
127: "/kolab/bin/php". Command output: /kolab/bin/php: error while loading 
shared libraries: libltdl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file 
or directory )


All I did on the system was to backup the ldap with slapcat as I am going to 
move the server to an openvz vm on another machine.  Then I ran apt-get update 
to check for debian updates and it suggested autoremove.

Some time later  I noticed that I was not getting any spam, so I knew 
something was wrong! :-)

kolab:/var/log/apt# apt-cache search libltdl
libguile-ltdl-1 - Guile's patched version of libtool's libltdl
libltdl-dev - A system independent dlopen wrapper for GNU libtool
libltdl7 - A system independent dlopen wrapper for GNU libtool

It seems libltdl3 is no longer in the distro - but I agree that this library 
should be provided by openpkg.  


Sorry for the delay in replying, I have been away for a few days, working on 
another kolab 2.3.4 debian openvz system which works fine.  Happy to provide 
any further information that you require.

kind regards
