[Pkg-openldap-devel] Upgrade Failure on wheezy from 2.4.31-1+nmu2 => 2.4.31+really2.4.40-3~bpo70+1

[Karsten Heymann]

Hi,

I hope posting bug reports about the not yet released wheezy backport
is correct here. I've built them myself from the packages's git
repository.

I tried installing the backport on a system that has 2.4.31-1+nmu2
installed but not configured in any way (/etc/ldap/slapd.d is empty)
and in this case the postinst script fails:

# apt-get -f install -V

The following extra packages will be installed:
   slapd (2.4.31+really2.4.40-3~bpo70+1)
Suggested packages:
   libsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit (2.1.25.dfsg1-6+deb7u1)
   libsasl2-modules-gssapi-heimdal (2.1.25.dfsg1-6+deb7u1)
The following packages will be upgraded:
   slapd (2.4.31-1+nmu2 => 2.4.31+really2.4.40-3~bpo70+1)
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
12 not fully installed or removed.
