Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.23-4
Severity: important
As my ldap server propose several database, I put them in sub directories
of /var/lib/ldap/ (in this test machine, there is only one database in
/var/lib/ldap/danjean instead of /var/lib/ldap by default)
Migration scripts fail and tips they give to solve the problem also fail.
During upgrade:

There are leftover files in /var/lib/ldap/danjean. This will probably break

stuff in there and retry the configuration.

Looking into slapd postinst, I see that debconf slapd/move_old_database can
help me. However, dpkg-reconfigure does not work on not-installed package:
root@ogmios:/home/vdanjean# dpkg-reconfigure slapd
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: slapd est cassé ou partiellement installé
Reconfiguring debconf priority to low (depkg-reconfigure debconf) did not help
(I do not see the question when running "dpkg -a --configure")
The only working tip has been to manually edit /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
and set slapd/move_old_database to true.
And then:
root@ogmios:/home/vdanjean# dpkg -a --configure
Paramétrage de slapd (2.4.23-4) ...
Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.conf in /var/backups/slapd-2.4.17-2.1... done.

- chowning database directory (openldap:openldap)... done
Migrating slapd.conf to slapd.d configuration style... done.
Starting OpenLDAP: slapd.
You should really propose easiest way to upgrade slapd when non standard
configuration is found (at least, a way to leave the package in a installed
state even if the config migration is not completed).
Perhaps, reasking the slapd/move_old_database question can be a solution (at
least for interactive upgrade)

Vincent

Hmm, then I have no explanation for why this value was set the way it was.
:( I'll leave this bug report open for a while then in case you happen to
find the reason, or in case someone else has the same problem.
Unfortunately we still have no more information about how this happened.
However, as this was an isolated case and has never been reported again,
I think this bug is not actionable and should be closed. I'm sorry we
weren't able to provide a proper resolution to your problem.
thanks,
Ryan
