[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#603544: Migration to slapd.d fails with: config_build_entry: build "cn={10}gosa+samba3" failed: "(null)"

[Frederik Himpe]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.23-6
Severity: important

When updating from Lenny to Squeeze, configuration of the slapd package fails
with this error:

Setting up slapd (2.4.23-6) ...
  Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.conf in /var/backups/slapd-2.4.17-2.1... done.
  Moving old database directories to /var/backups:
  - directory dc=wise,dc=vub,dc=ac,dc=be... done.
  Loading from /var/backups/slapd-2.4.17-2.1: 
  - directory dc=wise,dc=vub,dc=ac,dc=be... done.
  - chowning database directory (openldap:openldap)... done
  Migrating slapd.conf to slapd.d configuration style... failed.

Migrating slapd.conf file (/etc/ldap/slapd.conf) to slapd.d failed with the following
error while running slaptest:
    config_build_entry: build "cn={10}gosa+samba3" failed: "(null)"
    backend_startup_one (type=config, suffix="cn=config"): bi_db_open failed! (-1)
    slap_startup failed (test would succeed using the -u switch)
dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
configured to not write apport reports
                                      Errors were encountered while processing:
 slapd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

(Any subsequent attempt to install any other package, will retry this configuration,
and then fails because  /var/backups/slapd-2.4.17-2.1 already exists, this should
probably be checked too in order to prevent it erroring out on that situation.)
