New question #237854 on openldap in Ubuntu: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openldap/+question/237854
I was doing a normal package upgrade in 12.04LTS when I found an error while upgrading slapd: root@ubuntu:~# apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Setting up slapd (2.4.28-1.1ubuntu4.4) ... Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.d in /var/backups/slapd-2.4.28-1.1ubuntu4.3... cp: cannot overwrite directory `/var/backups/slapd-2.4.28-1.1ubuntu4.3/slapd.d' with non-directory dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: slapd E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) root@ubuntu:~# Now, I take the reason it did not like my /etc/ldap/slapd.d is because it is an alias (/etc/ldap/slapd.d -> /export/ldap/slapd). But, why should it care? There are many ways to copy an alias and expand it in the process. And, I have not noticed such behaviour before. Did something change in apt or openldap to make the postinstall annoyed at the alias? -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server/Client Support Team, which is an answer contact for openldap in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~enterprise-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~enterprise-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
