Public bug reported: I was trying to "apt-get install dpkg" to work around #944452 and got the following while trying to upgrade slapd:
Setting up slapd (2.4.28-1.1ubuntu4) ... Use of uninitialized value $type in ucfirst at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/AutoSelect.pm line 35. Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.conf in /var/backups/slapd-2.4.21-0ubuntu5.7... done. Moving old database directories to /var/backups: Loading from /var/backups/slapd-2.4.21-0ubuntu5.7: - directory dc=interlinx,dc=bc,dc=ca... failed. Loading the database from the LDIF dump failed with the following error while running slapadd: 4f9c4903 slap_sasl_init: auxprop add plugin failed slapadd: slap_init failed! dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 This looks to be related to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=665473 where message #10 (http://bugs.debian.org /cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=665473#10) in that bug says: This looks like a repeat of bug #628237. However, slapd 2.4.28-1.1/amd64 has a dependency on libsasl2-2 (>= 2.1.24), ... Looking at the package info for slapd: Package: slapd Priority: optional Section: net Installed-Size: 4064 Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com> Original-Maintainer: Debian OpenLDAP Maintainers <pkg-openldap-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org> Architecture: i386 Source: openldap Version: 2.4.28-1.1ubuntu4 Replaces: ldap-utils (<< 2.2.23-3), libldap2 Provides: ldap-server, libslapi-2.4-2 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.15), libdb5.1, libldap-2.4-2 (= 2.4.28-1.1ubuntu4), libltdl7 (>= 2.4.2), libodbc1 (>= 2.2.11) | unixodbc (>= 2.2.11), libperl5.14 (>= 5.14.2), libsasl2-2, libslp1, libwrap0 (>= 7.6-4~), coreutils (>= 4.5.1-1), psmisc, perl (>> 5.8.0) | libmime-base64-perl, adduser, lsb-base (>= 3.2-13) We can see that it's not requiring a newer libsasl2-2. At this point I did an "apt-get install libsasl2-2" and it installed the new libsasl2-2 and allowed the configuration of slapd to finish.
