[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#409923: Etch deserves upgrade handling for the ldbm backend

[Tim Dijkstra]

Hi Steve,

You downgraded this bug. That's your call. But I do think this should be
fixed for etch. 

I think it is unacceptable that an upgrade of such a critical pacakage
(for systems that use it) silently fails. It would be better to have
proper support for upgrading a database with the ldbm backend, but I
understand it is a little late for that.  The least you can do is add a
note to prepare people for the disaster to happen.

I just skimmed through the buglist and I think this is actually a
duplicate of #392747: slapd: failed upgrade with ldbm backend The replay
form Matthijs seems to suggest that there is some support for upgrading
the database. Well apparently that is broken, it didn't happen for me,
neither for Filip.
