[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#598361: slapd: slapcat gives "unclean shutdown detected; attempting recovery" after squeeze upgrade

[Bryan K. Walton]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.23-6
Severity: normal


I've recently upgraded slapd from Lenny to Squeeze.  Nightly, I run
a slapcat to dump to directory to an LDIF file for backup.  Since
the upgrade, I now get the following error:

bdb_db_open: database "dc=i-clic,dc=uihc,dc=uiowa,dc=edu": unclean
shutdown detected; attempting recovery.
bdb_db_open: database "dc=i-clic,dc=uihc,dc=uiowa,dc=edu": recovery
skipped in read-only mode. Run manual recovery if errors are
encountered.

I get this error every time.  I also get this error when I run slaptest.

After doing some research online, I have installed db4.8-util and have
run:

db4.8-recover
db4.8-checkpoint -1

These commands seem to run fine.  I have verified that my slapd instance
is using 4.8 (4.8.30).  However, I can immediately run the slapcat or
slaptest after running the above commands and the same error repeats 
itself.
