[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#905219: slapd: apt-get upgrade with Duplicate attributeType: "2.5.4.2"

[Jack McKinney]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.44+dfsg-5+deb9u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation? I wanted to update my system
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)? I ran "apt-get upgrade"
   * What was the outcome of this action? It bailed when it hit slapd
   * What outcome did you expect instead? apt-get upgrade usually just works

It upgraded most of the packages just fine, but failed when it hit slapd.
If I try it again, I get the same result. It complains about the schema, but
the schema here are the dist schema; I have not modified them. I found this
exact schema error in google going back over a decade, but the fix does not
apply to my system (and it has been working fine for quite some time, not
throwing this error until I tried to apt-get upgrade).

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
