[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#665199: slapd: fails to install, remove, distupgrade, and install again

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.28-1.1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install
(in 'squeeze'), remove (but not purge), distupgrade to 'wheezy',
and install again.
Before the second installation the package is in config-files-remaining
state. The configuration is remaining from the last version that was
successfully configured - which is from the previous release.

Note that policy-rc.d is setup to prevent daemons to be started during
the test.

Like a plain failure on initial install this makes the package too buggy
for a release, thus the severity.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
