/etc/defaults/slapd is a conffile. It's managed by dpkg in the standard way. If you had modified your defaults, you would be prompted on upgrade whether to accept the new file; if you had not, then the new file comprises the correct new settings as determined by the maintainers. /etc/ldap/ldap.conf is likewise a conffile, though in this case it's a conffile whose owner changed from libldap2 to libldap-2.4-2. If I remember correctly, this at worst causes spurious conffile prompts on upgrade, though, not silent overwriting of conffiles. What precisely is the problem you encountered with this file after the upgrade? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
