Package: gforge-ldap-openldap
Version: 3.1-29
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


The new LDAP packages in testing no longer accept DNs with regular
expressions in them, it seems.  Using something

  access to dn=".*,ou=People,dc=localhost,dc=localdomain"

in slapd.conf, as the postinst adds, is no longer accepted and the
LDAP daemon will not start, meaning that gforge-ldap-openldap is
currently uninstallable in sarge.

Changing the slapd.conf entry to

  access to dn.regex=".*,ou=People,dc=localhost,dc=localdomain"

will at least make slapd start successfully again.

Upgrading the LDAP packages on a working GForge installation is no
problem.  The LDAP packages (don't know which, assume slapd) will
convert your existing slapd.conf, but I don't fancy upgrading my
GForge installation until this bug gets fixed :-{

FWIW, my working GForge installation has all of its dn= entries
automagically converted to use dn.regex= and is still working like
a charm.
