I found the very same bug today on updating a machine from etch to
lenny. The upgrade procedure didn't worked correctly, so aptitude
stopped and I had to use "apt-get -f install" and "dpkg --configure
--pending" a few times.

After 6 hours (it a quite slow machine, indeed) I got the same error, so
I read this bug report, tried to reinstall the previous version of
slapd, failed since I could not install the required library package.

Currently I am stuck at this point: old slapd has been removed, ldif was
not created, I cannot reinstall the old slapd since I cannot downgrade
libldap to libldap-2.3-0. The new version won't find any ldif and will
not correctly get configured.

I cannot downgrade libldap since removing the new version will remove a
lot of packages I need:

sgi:~# LC_ALL=C apt-get remove libldap-2.4-2

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Of course, no users may currently authenticate :-(

Any suggestion?

Thanks a lot,
