[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#507225: libldap-2.4-2: /etc/ldap/ldap.conf went missing during install

[Mike Castle]

Package: libldap-2.4-2
Version: 2.4.11-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


After installation, it was noticed that /etc/ldap/ldap.conf was missing.

dpkg -L libldap-2.4-2 did not display the file, however, dpkg -c on the
original .deb does show it present.

dpkg -i fixed it.

This was a fresh install done via a slightly older business card install.

I first installed just a base system, even deselecting the desktop task.

I have a set of personal .debs that I use for specifying dependencies during
installation that I prefer to use.

It was noticed that autofs-ldap's /etc/ldap/schema/autofs.schema was
successfully installed.

I was just reviewing /var/log/dpkg.log and noticed that the initial
installation installed both libldap-2.4-2 AND libldap2.  Later, when I purge
unwanted packages via dselect, apparently libldap2 was removed, which appears
to have caused /etc/ldap/ldap.conf to disappear.

This seems like a problematic configuration to allow.
