[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#226090: slapd: postinst should warn if upgrade fails

[Russ Allbery]

Reading through this bug report, it seems to me like this would be a good
case for a debconf message of type error.  It was added for exactly this
sort of case, where something broke during installation that needs the
attention of the system administrator, but which isn't sufficiently bad to
leave the package in an uninstalled state.

The shell handling is a bit complicated, and I don't have time to work on
this myself at the moment, but at least this will capture it in the bug
trail for anyone else who has time to work on it.
