Re: courier-imap and courier-webadmin in ubuntu 24.04

Well, that was easier than I anticipated. The --ignore-depends is
necessary. The URLs are derived by using the launchpad links below, and
clicking on the "version" column links
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/amd64/courier-imap
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/amd64/courier-webadmin

These commands (as root) will install the packages the ubuntu release
managers removed from 24.04:

wget
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/708904399/courier-imap_5.0.13+1.0.16-3.2build1_amd64.deb
dpkg --ignore-depends=courier-base -i
courier-imap_5.0.13+1.0.16-3.2build1_amd64.deb
wget
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/708904405/courier-webadmin_1.0.16-3.2build1_amd64.deb
dpkg --ignore-depends=courier-base -i
courier-webadmin_1.0.16-3.2build1_amd64.deb
