[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#403524: slapd: Upgrade from sarge to etch fails on a replica-server

[Mario Iseli]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.3.29-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

Hello,

last night i updated my 2nd LDAP server (just the one with the
replication) to etch. The upgrade did not work totally, as you see in
the message below. I also tried to purge slapd, install it newly and
copy the databases in /var/lib/ldap from the master (on sarge) and start
the server locally, this does also not work, maybe wrong settings in
slapd.conf even when it's with BDB. I know that it was hard work to
upgrade the openldap package for etch, and I'm sorry to have to file
this bug but I think an upgrade documentation would be very helpful,
maybe even in the release notes of etch.

Thank you!
