I see this too (Debian), only Dovecot.... Although it does compile in the end. Also, when using the CB2 plugin, the output halts at a specific point (maybe at the loop point?)
1. There is nothing different about the 11/2018 install selections that installed perfectly, and the ones selected last week and this week that do not work. The ones that fail to install now are:
__a. ProFTPd - It will fail even if you pre-create the "/var/run/proftpd" directory prior to setup. It will not install under any circumstances if you don't create that directory first. This is a long-reported bug in the setup script. However, before, if you pre-created this directory, the setup script would install it fine. That is no longer the case.
__b. Dovecot - It will fail to install under both setup.sh and build.
2. When I run "./build all -d" on a server that installed fine on 11/2018, it will go into an endless loop on MySQL 5.6. On those servers, I set them up and changed them to MySQL, and then did "./build all -d" afterward and there were no problems with ProFTPd, Dovecot, or MySQL. Thus, I don't believe that the endless loop has anything to do with Dovecot per se. My guess is that the default "-d" is to retry on errors during "./build all -d", and not in setup.sh. If that is true, and the same situation existed prior, one wouldn't encounter it unless they had something fail to install during setup, which I did not. Why there is all of the sudden a MySQL 5.6 error now with those, I don't know. It could be the reason I don't encounter the Dovecot issue on the old servers is because I get locked in the MySQL loop before it gets to Dovecot. Thus, it seems there is either a problem with the script, prerequisites, or an update in binaries that is causing the looping issue, with it looking like a combination of binaries that no longer work and the script's reaction to the error.
3. I can install ProFTPd with "./build proftpd". I don't know if it would survive "./build all -d" afterward or not. If Dovecot generates prior to it, it would stuck in a loop prior to getting there. Based on the fact that the 11/2018 also no longer generate, and fail at MySQL, it seems to point to a binary issue plus the way "./build -d" reacts to it.
4. Dovecot will not install at all.
__a. Every time you do a "./build all -d", you will get an endless loop.
__b. If you do a "./build dovecot", it will end like this every time:

5. Yesterday I sent to DA Support,
__a. Documented the FreeBSD 11.2 setup; updated to latest, 4 vcpus, 3GB vRAM, 80 GB vmdk.setup and all OS software pre-installed, plus the DA requirements installed, plus the options selected during install; apache, php 5.6 fpm, php 7.3 fpm, the default MariaDB, RoundCube, Dovecot,
__b. Using the UNIX script utility, I captured full logs of screen output of:
____1.) DA prerequisite install.
____2.) DA install
____3.) The successful after-the-fact ProFTPd install
____4.) The unsuccessful after-the-fact Dovecot install that loops forever.
____5.) Login information to a server that demonstrates the problem that they can play with.
6. I have not heard anything back from DirectAdmin support.
Thanks!
