Public bug reported: I recently upgraded my server from Hardy to Lucid, using "do-release- upgrade -d" from the command line.
When the upgrade process attempted to install the new version of the slapd package, the package installation/configuration failed due to problems with the DBD database files (as I reported in bug #536958). Once I resolved that problem, I re-ran "dpkg --pending --configure", and the configuration script was able to successfully convert my slapd.conf file to the slapd.d configuration directory. However, a second later, I received the following error message: Starting OpenLDAP: slapd - failed. The operation failed but no output was produced. For hints on what went wrong please refer to the system's logfiles (e.g. /var/log/syslog) or [...] invoke-rc.d: initscript slapd, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure): Sure enough, the syslog file contained the following: Mar 11 20:43:23 suza slapd[7087]: @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.21 (Feb 18 2010 06:12:56) $#012#011bui...@yellow:/build/buildd/openldap-2.4.21/debian/build/servers/slapd Mar 11 20:43:23 suza slapd[7087]: config error processing olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config: ordered_value_sort failed on attr olcAccess#012 Mar 11 20:43:23 suza slapd[7087]: slapd stopped. Since the slapd.postinst returns an exit status in this situation, the slapd package is left in half-configured status. ** Affects: openldap (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: hardy2lucid -- slapd package configuration aborts due to "ordered_value_sort failed on attr olcAccess" error during Hardy -> Lucid upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538516 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openldap in ubuntu. -- 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
