Package: slapd Followup-For: Bug #462099
In case it helps others dealing with this bug, I was able to work around it using the patch here: http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200711/msg00074.html It's been several days ago but, IIRC, the process was: 0. Make backups of LDAP database in case anything goes wrong. 1. Attempt the upgrade to 2.4.7 with apt-get. 2. After the assertion, download the the source package, patch it, and temporarily use patched slapd binary to migrate entryCSNs. Assuming the build and target host are the same, basically... apt-get build-dep slapd apt-get source slapd [ apply patch to schema_init.c ; required trivial adjustments because line numbers were off a bit ] cd openldap2.3-2.4.7 fakeroot debian/rules build mv /usr/sbin/slapd /usr/sbin/slapd.dist copy slapd from debian/build/servers/slapd/.libs/slapd to /usr/sbin/slapd apt-get install slapd [uses patch slapd to upgrade entryCSNs] mv /usr/sbin/slapd.dist /usr/sbin/slapd --Brad -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages slapd depends on: ii adduser 3.105 add and remove users and groups ii coreutils 5.97-5.3 The GNU core utilities ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.18 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.2 4.2.52+dfsg-4 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libgnutls13 2.0.4-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libiodbc2 3.52.6-1 iODBC Driver Manager ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.7-3 OpenLDAP libraries ii libltdl3 1.5.24-2 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii libperl5.8 5.8.8-12 Shared Perl library ii libsasl2-2 2.1.22.dfsg1-16 Cyrus SASL - authentication abstra ii libslp1 1.2.1-7.1 OpenSLP libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-14 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii perl [libmime-base64-per 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 22.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy Versions of packages slapd recommends: ii libsasl2-modules 2.1.22.dfsg1-16 Cyrus SASL - pluggable authenticat -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
