Incorrect: No data was actually *lost*, right?


The fix for bug#307618 actually introduced another issue. Any system that used migrationtools to load services will be unable to upgrade to slapd 2.4.17-1 (actually, anything newer than 2.4.15). Reference bug#541292 for details. But essentially, `cn=echo+ipServiceProtocol=tcp+ipServiceProtocol=udp' is an illegal value.


At first glance, it seems that replacing the + with _ allows the file to load, but I'm not sure if that's sufficient for everything to work properly. I don't know if this dn: is used or just needs to be unique.

In principle they are unique, but I suspect that most users of migrationtools won't actually use that data.

I will simply disable that patch for now, and leave it to the user to decide if they want to a) use only some of the scripts og b) force-load with the result that tcp and udp entries are merged.

Thanks a lot for bringing up this issue!
