[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#380621: slapd upgrade produces no backup file

[maximilian attems]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.3.24-2
Severity: important

the recent upgrade from 2.3.24-1 produced _no_ backup file 

ls /var/backups/slapd-2.3.24-1/
slapd.conf

ls /var/backups/slapd-2.2.26-5/
dc=itp,dc=tuwien,dc=ac,dc=at.ldif  slapd.conf

could you _please_ be a lot more carefull about your upgrade
handling.

it might be possible that the dir is regenerated and that 
due to the previous upgrade failure it was removed:

Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
Setting up slapd (2.3.24-2) ...
  Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.conf in /var/backups/slapd-2.3.24-1... done.
Starting OpenLDAP: slapd - failed.
The operation failed but no output was produced. For hints on what went
wrong please refer to the system's logfiles (e.g. /var/log/syslog) or
try running the daemon in Debug mode like via "slapd -d 16383" (warning:
this will create copious output).

Below, you can find the command line options used by this script to
run slapd and slurpd. Do not forget to specify those options if you
want to look to debugging output:
  slapd -g openldap -u openldap
invoke-rc.d: initscript slapd, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 slapd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
