Here is what I got from Stephen Frost on debian-openldap. His answer is very interesting. ------------------------------------------------------------------- > Dumping directory to > /var/backups/ldap/2.0.27-4/slapd-dc=ruwenzori,dc=net-slapcat.ldif with > new slapcat... /etc/ldap/slapd.conf: line 53: unknown directive > "defaultaccess" in ldbm database definition (ignored) > done > dn: ou=People,dc=ruwenzori,dc=net This is kind of odd.. It sounds like the slapd.preinst script was unable to slapcat the database with the 2.0.27-4 slapcat- not a good sign. Once you move back to 2.0.27-4 you might shut down your database and see what happens when you run slapcat on it, it *should* work but if it doesn't it could definitely cause problems during upgrade. > [A bunch of additional assorted 'Missing RDN' and 'Mismatched RDN' > errors] The fix_ldif script is having a great deal of trouble performing the migration from your old LDAP tree to a new compliant LDAP tree. The underlying problem is that the new version of slapd is much more picky about schema's and proper form than the old version so we're trying to fix old 2.0 LDIF's to be compliant. Obviously this doesn't work in all cases. > slapd is started, but large chunks (I would say most) of my LDAP tree > did not get through the conversion process that apparently happened Unfortunately you may have to perform the conversion process yourself. I'm willing to help and if we can fix things so that the conversion process works for you that's great but it might not be possible to do in a general way... > Postfix keeps bitching about LDAP being broken, but I guess it is just > the effect of the slapd setup being very broken, so I guess I should not > pay attention to those messages and focus on getting my LDAP tree back > online in proper shape. I expect the slapd database is, as you said, missing alot of things that postfix is looking for which is what postfix is complaining about. > I guess the quick fix would be to downgrade to slapd 2.0.27-4 but I > can't find the package with that version.

There's always http://snapshot.debian.net/ (http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2003/07/10/debian/pool/main/o/openldap2/ appears to have 2.0.27-4 packages). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
