[Bug 810977] Re: slapd remove/reinstall fails
Ok, I have found a work-arround to transfer slapd into a working state. This is not solution of this problem, but it helps to bring slapd back into a running state and so you can continue with openLDAP on your machine. At first you need an additional cleen machine, I name it MC (for machine clean). You can install this machine for example in a virtualbox. MC ... clean machine ME ... machine with the slapd install error 1) on ME: execute "apt-get remove slapd" 2) on ME: remove manually the directories "/var/lib/ldap" and "/etc/ldap" 3) on MC: execute "apt-get install slapd ldap-utils" 4) on MC: stop the slapd process with "service slapd stop" 5) on MC: transfer with rsync the directories "/var/lib/ldap" and "/etc/ldap" to the maschine ME (make sure, that owner/group and access flags are not modified) 6) on ME: execute "apt-get install slapd ldap-utils" Now the installation sricpt of package slapd runs to end without any problems. Removement and reinstallatione of package slapd works without problems, but there is no dialog for configuration (as it is in the very first install). To change configuration: 1) stop the slapd process with "service slapd stop" 2) remove actual slapd.d with "rm -r /etc/ldap/slapd.d" 3) execute "dpkg-reconfigure slapd" Afterwards you will find a new /etc/ldap/slapd.d So far as good, installation script for package slapd isn't bug-free otherwise I would not have these problems. For me it's interesting to know: 1) where is the configuration info stored (because the dialog starts up only one time in the very beginning) 2) why does the dpkg-ceconfiguration fail if /etc/lapd/slapd.d is existing My recommendation to package authors. Don't do any ldap configuration in the installing phase. Only check while package removement or package installation if there is a ldap configuratin/database available, and in this case offer the option to use/remove or mover the old configuration/database. If user selects a complete removement everything after reinstallation should be like after a very first install.

[Bug 810977] Re: slapd remove/reinstall fails
Dave, I try to reproduce this bug in a clean natty environment (new installed in a virtualbox) and I wasn't able to reproduce this bug, like you. So I go back to my normal PC, where the bug is still alive and I try some additional things. I see the message "Omitting slapd configuration as requested." which is a different behavior to the first install-procedure where a dialog comes up and asking for a LDAP-Password. For my feeling, the problem is caused by some initial configuration on the LDAP database. This behavior is new compared with lucid 10.04. I am not sure if this is really a step forward, because configuration of a LDAP database is a very complicate issue and in my point of view it should not be done by a installing script. I will do some further investigations. Two questions: 1) Do you know the cause for the change of install behavior (automatic omitting slapd configuration...) 2) How I can increase the parameter MaxReports for AppReports in case of app-get install fails...

On my Natty this bug is reproducable. I've got the same error as Manfred.

@Manfred, if you are able to provide more information to help reproduce this, it would be most appreciated. This needs to be reproduced on Natty to see if it is an issue specific to that. ** Changed in: openldap (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openldap in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/810977 Title: slapd remove/reinstall fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openldap/+bug/810977/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
