[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#614569: slapd: Dist-Upgrade Lenny->Squeeze: syncreplication w/ incomplete objects fails

[Rainer Ruprechtsberger]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.23-7
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hallo again,

dist-upgrading ldap syncreplication slaves with incomplete object fails.
My setting uses 'schemachecking=off' and the replication user is not
allowed to read all attributes on the master server. The upgrade scripts
make a backup of the existing ldap database and tries to restore it with
slapadd. This fails and leave the the slapd package half configured.
For example:

Loading the database from the LDIF dump failed with the following
error while running slapadd:
    Entry (uid=foobar,ou=people,dc=volkshilfe-ooe,dc=at): object class
'inetOrgPerson' requires attribute 'sn'
    slapadd: dn="uid=foobar,ou=people,dc=volkshilfe-ooe,dc=at"
(line=24): (65) object class 'inetOrgPerson' requires attribute 'sn'
dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Exchanging the backup with a fake (only containing the top object) was
the fastest way to resolve this problem i was able to find.
