Using the VestaCP CLI when I create a domain, I get the following warning message. The domain is successfully created though!

on Debian 8

v-add-domain admin abc.com
chown: invalid user: 'dovecot:mail'


Any pointers how to fix this ?

Ah!! it was actually because I had no Dovecot pkg installed as I don't manage incoming mail on my these servers.
I had updated the bugtrack though...
sorry to NOT update this thread... It is resolved
