Was there an error *before* this? Why does
/var/backups/dc=jamux,dc=com-2.2.23-1.ldapdb exist, and what are its
contents?
Severity downgraded, because the above is a deliberate safety check in the
code to prevent destroying backups on error.

I'm sorry my reply is so late. I see no sign of the above message in
my incoming mail nor in my logs.
The error started with the recent upgrade. I had not previously used
nor configured slapd apart from the installation. Subsequently I only
looked at the docs.
At least once since the failed upgrade I deleted that directory and
re-ran aptitude dist-upgrade.
I have the following from a backup tape
,----[ ls -l /var/backups/dc=jamux,dc=com-2.2.23-1.ldapdb ]

Before thinking to look at the Bug web interface, I did 'aptitude
purge slapd' and 'aptitude install slapd' so I'm afraid I cannot
provide more evidence on the bug.
Now I see:
