[Pkg-openldap-devel] errors with current testing and unstable slapd

[DePriest, Jason R.]

I get the following error with slapd 2.3.30-5

line 69 (idassert-bind ***)
/usr/sbin/slapd: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/ldap/back_meta-2.3.so.0: undefined symbol:
slap_idassert_parse_cf

Taking the advice of the OpenLDAP mailing list, I compiled my own from
2.3.38 sources.  It was a very painful process, but the end result was
that I no longer got that error and made it a few more steps to a
whole new set of unrelated problems.

I did nothing special in my build, just made sure to '--enable' every
feature accept sql support.

It put stuff in non-standard directories and didn't properly set
permissions on some folders, but other than that, I was able to get
passed this problem.

I wiped it all out and reinstalled the package from the testing
repository and back pops the error.

According to the list, if I have both ldap and meta modules, I should
be fine.  Nope.

I was curious what the timeline for a new release is.

I have contemplated trying to use the existing source package to
engineer my own binary debian package with the newer source, but the
number of items in the diff file overwhelmed my limited experience.

Thanks!
