[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#665199: slapd: fails to install, remove, distupgrade, and install again

[Ryan Tandy]

Control: reopen -1
Control: tag -1 - squeeze

Somehow this bug was fixed in squeeze via p-u, but never in unstable. So 
while squeeze->wheezy upgrades were fixed, wheezy->jessie upgrades are 
still affected, and jessie->stretch upgrades will be affected as soon as 
I commit the ppolicy upgrade patch I'm working on.

Installing slapd in wheezy, removing (but not purging) it, 
dist-upgrading to jessie, and then installing slapd again fails as in 
the original report.

  Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.d in /var/backups/slapd-2.4.31-2+deb7u1... done.
  Moving old database directories to /var/backups:
  - directory dc=example,dc=com... done.
  Loading from /var/backups/slapd-2.4.31-2+deb7u1:
  - directory dc=example,dc=com... failed.

Loading the database from the LDIF dump failed with the following
error while running slapadd:
    /var/backups/slapd-2.4.31-2+deb7u1/dc=example,dc=com.ldif: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package slapd (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
