[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#495954: slapd: Upgrade to Lenny failed: libldap_r-2.3.so.0 missing

[Ferenc Wagner]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.3.30-5+etch1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I upgraded a machine from Etch to Lenny, and hit a problem with slapd:

Preparing to replace slapd 2.3.30-5+etch1 (using .../slapd_2.4.10-3_i386.deb) ...
  Dumping to /var/backups/slapd-2.3.30-5+etch1: 
  - directory dc=aai,dc=niif,dc=hu... slapcat: error while loading shared libraries: libldap_r-2.3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
failed.
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/slapd_2.4.10-3_i386.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

Indeed, libldap-2.3-0 has already been removed before this point.  I'm
rather confused about this, and don't understand how it's possible.
Unfortunately, all I can offer is the dpkg.log, if you are interested.

In the end I had to downgrade, remove slapd, upgrade, then watch the new
slapd fail to install as it can't read the ldif.  But that's only a
consequence, I guess.

Thanks,
Feri.
