[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#628237: slapd: installation fails: slap_sasl_init: auxprop add plugin failed

[Dale Schroeder]

I now receive this error on an existing installation, and slapd no 
longer starts.  Evidently some upgrade, perhaps the recent sasl upgrade, 
generates the same error message in my systems.  I discovered this 
accidentally during a reboot of a system.

To verify, I attempted to restart slapd (no reboot) on another system 
and receive the same error.  So, it appears that the change, whatever it 
is, does not cause immediate problems, but rather appears on the next 
restart of slapd.

I receive the following 4 lines in syslog on each slapd restart attempt.

Any idea what's going on?
