[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#709472: slapd/no_configuration true breaks install/upgrade

[Frank Meisschaert]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.31-1+nmu2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When debconf slapd/no_configuration is true install/upgrade of the slapd
package fails if there is no configuration file or directory:

apt-get install slapd
...
Setting up slapd (2.4.31-1+nmu2) ...
  Omitting slapd configuration as requested.
[warn] No configuration file was found for slapd at /etc/ldap/slapd.conf. ... (warning).
invoke-rc.d: initscript slapd, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
...

Kind Regards,
Frank Meisschaert
