completing the story...

During package upgades, I see upgrade failures:

```
root at jessie:~# apt-get install 389-ds-base --reinstall

Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut.

Fehlerwert 1 zurück
Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
  389-ds-base
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
```

The underlying reason of this is this:

```
root at jessie:~# setup-ds -u -s General.UpdateMode=offline
Use of literal control characters in variable names is deprecated at  
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dirsrv/perl/DSCreate.pm line 867.

Ungültiger Link über Gerätegrenzen hinweg
Error: could not update the directory server.

Log file is '/tmp/setupKkbY5z.log'
```

The fix for it (that one has to apply to  
/usr/share/dirsrv/updates/60upgradeconfigfiles.pl and then run  
"apt-get install -f") is this:

```

So, an improvement, we could offer is fixing the upgrade of  
389-ds-base (which had been broken since jessie got released, in fact).

Greets,
