[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#594711: slapd: Migration of DB format fails during upgrade

[Stefan Fritsch]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.23-4
Severity: grave

When upgrading from 2.4.23-2 to 2.4.23-4, I get a debconf message that
tells me that slapcat failed during upgrade. dpkg then aborts with a
failure.

Also, contrary to the debconf message, the database files are not moved
into /var/backup.

I am guessing that the problem could have to do with slapd not being
started on boot on my system.

#593550 has some info about how to resolve the problem, but I think this
information should be in slapd's README.Debian.

Here is the log from the attempted upgrade:
