Hello,

My dovecot works well but I have noticed in logs the following line:

Feb  5 09:19:51 lists dovecot: ssl-build-param: Can't create temporary
SSL parameters file /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat.tmp: No such
file or directory

I am not sure when it first appeared but I have not seen it before
(and I am using dovecot for more almost 2 years now).

Thank you for pointers as to what to do to fix that warning.
