Given that this seems to affect any system upgrading slapd from Lucid to Maverick, I wonder if it's worth trying to get it added to the Maverick release notes?
** Summary changed: - upgrade process does not upgrade underlying BDB format from 4.7 to 4.8 + upgrade process does not upgrade underlying BDB format from 4.7 to 4.8 (so slapd aborts with "Program version 4.8 doesn't match environment version 4.7" error message) ** Description changed: I just upgraded from Lucid to Maverick, and now slapd won't start.

Information on the web says that I need to run some kind of manual database upgrade to BDB 4.8, but I have no familiarity with the BDB tools, and the recipes that are suggested are varied and uncertain. Please suggest a workaround or manual upgrade, as some of my network services are at a dead stop due to this problem. Thanks, Andrew.
