[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#452749: slapd: Cannot install due to postinst error

[Micah Anderson]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.3.39-1
Severity: normal


When trying to install slapd for the first time, I encounter this error:

Setting up slapd (2.3.39-1) ...
  Creating new user openldap... done.
  Creating initial slapd configuration...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd.postinst: line 682: /usr/share/slapd/slapd.conf: No such file or directory
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)

There is a /usr/share/slapd/slapd.conf.gz so perhaps zcat'ing that file
will do the trick.
