Eventually I could force apt to install it without its dependencies. Of course, chances are that it won't run then.

As another option, I could set up a VM and install dovecot with dovecot-sieve there. I'd be willing to take some effort to be able to debug sieve scripts that way if I knew that I could use the outcome at all.

But if the script in question fails for something that's specific to my Cyrus installation, or specific to runtime environment in general, e.g., missing permissions, testing the script with dovecot's sieve-test (or other external standalone programs) won't help at all. Therefore I'd really prefer to debug it in its native habitat.

Thank you very much,
