I have custom ldap.conf files on several of my systems, and /etc/ldap/ldap.conf was not overwritten on upgrade. Do you have an /etc/ldap/ldap.conf.dpkg-old file after upgrading? > I manually edited the default/slapd, i setup > SLAPD_SERVICES="ldap:/// ldapi:/// ldaps:///" > which was lost on upgrade What do you mean, "lost"? How was dpkg (or apt) invoked on your system? Did you get a conffile prompt for this file, and what answer did you give? This is all managed by dpkg, whose handling of conffiles has been established for a decade. I don't see how there are any bugs in slapd here. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
