It will fail in a different place then. The whole problem is that the
maintainer scripts always try to load the database contents in 2.3.23-2
wether the database was dumped or not.
Work around in your case:
- back up the configuration
- purge the slapd package
- reinstall the package and omit the configuration
- copy the database files and configuration back in place
(db files from /var/backups/<basedn>-2.3.23-1.ldapdb to /var/lib/ldap)
Sorry for the breakage!
