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

[Nigel Sim]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.9-1
Severity: important

Upgrading fails as the ldif file is not created as expected. To overcome this I restored the backup into /var/lib/ldap, then did slapcat > /var/backups/slapd-2.3.35-2/dc=localdomain.ldif, removed the /var/backup/dc=localdomain-2.3.35-2.ldapdb folder which was created during upgrade, and again ran apt-get -f install.

Output follows:

Setting up slapd (2.4.9-1) ...
  Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.conf in /var/backups/slapd-2.3.35-2... done.
  Upgrading BDB 'checkpoint' options... .
  Moving old database directories to /var/backups:
  - directory dc=localdomain... done.
  Loading from /var/backups/slapd-2.3.35-2: 
  - directory dc=localdomain... failed.

Loading the database from the LDIF dump failed with the following
error while running slapadd:
    /var/backups/slapd-2.3.35-2/dc=localdomain.ldif: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure):
