[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#380687: slapd: Fails to start after upgrade to from 2.3.24-1 (pid file)

[Franklin PIAT]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.3.24-2
Severity: important


Hello,

After upgrading from  2.3.24-1 -> 2.3.24-2, slapd refuses to start
(silently).
  Stopping OpenLDAP: slapd.
  Starting OpenLDAP: slapd.
but no slapd is running

Raising debug level in /etc/default/slapd (SLAPD_OPTIONS="-d 1") prints:
  [[removed lines]]
  unable to open pid file "/var/run/slapd.pid": 13 (Permission denied)
  slapd destroy: freeing system resources.
  slapd stopped.
  connections_destroy: nothing to destroy.

I manually changed my /etc/ldap/slapd.conf file to move the location of
my pidfile from /var/run/slapd.pid to /var/run/slapd/slapd.pid and 
everything is running fine now.
(note that /var/run/slapd.args was already ok)

P.S. thanks for making slapd running as non-root, it's nicer this way.
