[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#770827: slapd: can't reconfigure dumping

[Ferenc Wágner]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.40-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I wanted to manually set dumping to "never" before upgrading, because restoring
the dump breaks on partial replicas (#614569).  However, dpkg-reconfigure slapd
only asks if I want to "omit OpenLDAP server configuration", which I want, because
the replication config is hand made.  Thus I don't get to reconfigure dumping,
even though it has nothing to do with the server configuration itself.

Trying to upgrade with DEBIAN_PRIORITY=medium does not work either due to another
problem: I can switch off dumping then, and dumping is skipped all right, but the
reload is attempted regardless and fails not finding the dump.

On the other hand, I could be saved by a little additional logic.  #759597 may be
hard in general, but I use MDB, which does not need a dump/restore below 2.5,
which translates to never in Debian. :)
