I had the same problem upgrading slapd on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Using a workaround (commenting out SLAPD_CONF in /etc/default/slapd and running `aptitude -f install`) I was able to make dpkg happy.
Generally it's IMHO a bad idea to do too much magic in the postinst script of the slapd package - at least if it breaks so easily. > Obviously you will be likely to have the same problem again > the next time slapd is upgraded... but I don't know if there > will be any easy fix for that, given the general move away > from slapd.conf-style configuration.... Unfortunately the new dynamic configuration (cn=config) is no viable alternative at the moment, as not all modules configuration is available through it (e. g. it's not possible to configure a meta backend using the new configuration style). -- Dist-Upgrade Karmic->Lucid: Upgrading slapd fails with "chown: invalid argument: `'" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574474 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
