Actually this indicates that OpenLDAP was recompiled with the latest BDB 
version (5.1.29).  It is complaining about the fact that your database was 
created using the 5.1.25 version, and thus it refuses to start.

The correct behavior on Debian's part is to export the database(s) prior to 
updating the BDB library via slapcat, and then reimport it via slapadd post 
upgrade.  OpenLDAP is working as designed.
