[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#462099: slapd: working around bug 462099

[Brad Fritz]

Package: slapd
Followup-For: Bug #462099


In case it helps others dealing with this bug, I was able to work around it
using the patch here:
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200711/msg00074.html

It's been several days ago but, IIRC, the process was:

 0. Make backups of LDAP database in case anything goes wrong.

 1. Attempt the upgrade to 2.4.7 with apt-get.

 2. After the assertion, download the the source package, patch it, and
    temporarily use patched slapd binary to migrate entryCSNs.  Assuming
    the build and target host are the same, basically...

    apt-get build-dep slapd
    apt-get source slapd
    [ apply patch to schema_init.c ; required trivial adjustments because line
      numbers were off a bit ]
    cd openldap2.3-2.4.7
    fakeroot debian/rules build
    mv /usr/sbin/slapd /usr/sbin/slapd.dist
    copy slapd from debian/build/servers/slapd/.libs/slapd to /usr/sbin/slapd
    apt-get install slapd   [uses patch slapd to upgrade entryCSNs]
    mv /usr/sbin/slapd.dist /usr/sbin/slapd
