Package: openldap Version: 2.4.50+dfsg-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Hi, this is currently part of the ubuntu delta and I checked to see if it still makes sense. It looks like it does, as it fixes the following scenario: ``` Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.d in /var/backups/slapd-2.4.50+dfsg-1... done. Moving old database directory to /var/backups: Backup path /var/backups/unknown-2.4.50+dfsg-1.ldapdb exists. Giving up... root@sid-slapd-reconfigure:~# echo $? 1 root@sid-slapd-reconfigure:~# ls -la /var/backups/ total 36 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4 May 11 14:21 . drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 13 May 8 05:25 .. drwx------ 3 root root 3 May 11 14:21 slapd-2.4.50+dfsg-1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4 May 11 14:21 unknown-2.4.50+dfsg-1.ldapdb ``` Install `slapd`, run `dpkg-reconfigure slapd` multiple times, and you get the above. With the change, you get this (shown in ubuntu): ``` root@groovy-slapd-reconfigure:~# ll /var/backups/ total 18 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2 May 6 12:25 ./ drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 15 May 8 11:42 ../ root@groovy-slapd-reconfigure:~# dpkg-reconfigure slapd Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.d in /var/backups/slapd-2.4.49+dfsg-2ubuntu1... done.
