Package: slapd Version: 2.1.30-3 Severity: normal I've played around with converting my cluster to using LDAP authentication, but I haven't finished yet. I did a big dist-upgrage, and for some reason something run from a maintainer script (maybe slapcat) failed. Maybe because my config file didn't agree with the database in /var/lib/ldap, or I don't know what. (sorry this isn't a better bug report..., I don't know if you'll be able to reproduce this.) This of course blocked the rest of the upgrade from happening.
On trying again, after some attempts at dpkg-reconfigure slapd, slapcat failed with a "bad config file" error message. Strace revealed that it was erroring out after not finding any of its /usr/share/ldap/*.dat files. My workstation, with a working slapd setup, has them, so I used rsync to get them onto this machine. slapcat now runs without error (producing no output, because I did dpkg-reconfigure to wipe out the old database I was playing around with). So aptitude should have no further problems. Anyway, the weird thing here is that somehow my system got into a state where it needed /usr/share/ldap, but didn't have it. I didn't delete it by hand or do anything other than through aptitude. This is a Bad Thing, because it gets the upgrade process stuck. dpkg-deb -c shows that the slapd 2.1.30 package didn't contain that directory, so I don't know why slapcat ( md5: c95ea67188d6150ac0f4a8869574cae5 /usr/sbin/slapcat) would want it. Maybe some other slapd config files got updated earlier in the upgrade process? I don't have the time or inclination to do more work on this, or preserve a lot of info about how my system was, but I will respond to questions if I can. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-k7-smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages slapd depends on: ii coreutils [fileutils] 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-18 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libgcrypt11 1.2.0-11.1 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libgnutls11 1.0.16-13.1 GNU TLS library - runtime library ii libgpg-error0 1.0-1 library for common error values an ii libiodbc2 3.52.2-3 iODBC Driver Manager ii libldap2 2.1.30-10 OpenLDAP libraries ii libltdl3 1.5.6-6 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii libsasl2 2.1.19-1.5 Authentication abstraction library ii libslp1 1.0.11a-2 OpenSLP libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii perl [libmime-base64-perl] 5.8.4-8 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 21.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- debconf information: slapd/password_mismatch: slapd/fix_directory: true slapd/invalid_config: true * shared/organization: genome slapd/upgrade_slapcat_failure: slapd/upgrade_slapadd_failure: slapd/backend: BDB * slapd/dump_database: when needed * slapd/allow_ldap_v2: false * slapd/no_configuration: true * slapd/migrate_ldbm_to_bdb: false slapd/move_old_database: true slapd/suffix_change: false slapd/slave_databases_require_updateref: * slapd/dump_database_destdir: /var/backups/slapd-VERSION slapd/autoconf_modules: true slapd/purge_database: false slapd/admin: * slapd/domain: monkey.mathstat.dal.ca -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
