[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#594714: slapd upgrade may fail on unset SLAPD_CONF

[Peter Marschall]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.23-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch sid

Hi,

upgrading slapd to 2.4.23-4 failed.

Error message
-------------
(Reading database ... 244861 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace slapd 2.4.23-3pm1 (using slapd_2.4.23-4_amd64.deb) ...

Environment
-----------
* old version 2.4.23-3pm1 (= Debian 2.4.23-3 with patches in 593878 & 593880 applied)
* databases using libdb4.8 4.8.30-1 
* slapd.conf based config (but should not matter)
* SLAPD_CONF set to empty string (in /etc/default/slapd)


n the error message above please note especially the lines
  grep: /cn=config/olcDatabase*: No such file or directory
and
  Creating initial configuration... mkdir: missing operand
  Try `mkdir --help' for more information.
Looking at slapd.postinst they both indicate that SLAPD_CONF needs to be set
(although I admit that this may be a special case).

The attached patch tries to fix it.

Thanks for openldap in Debian
