[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#487211: [SOLVED] Re: Bug#487211: slapd: upgrade from 2.3.35 fails looking for ldif

[Giuseppe Sacco]

So, this is how I solved it:
1. download using wget libldap-2.3-0 and libiodbc2 packages from etch
repository;
2. installed the first one by extracting its content with "ar" and then
"tar";
3. installed the second one via dpkg;
4. move /var/backups/dc=... to /var/lib/ldap;
5. corrected ownership of /var/lib/ldap;
6. run "apt-get -f install"

I think the bug I found is in preinst: if the dump does not work (in my
case it doesn't work because a library is missing) then it should fails,
while it keep going, trying to upgrade, and failing because of missing
LDIF file.

Bye,
