I don't think this is due to anything you did wrong; most likely, there was simply a single-bit memory or disk error that broke the checksum of your conffile. > Could I found this solution by myself? Not easily, and for that I reassign the bug to dpkg rather than just closing it outright. However, this is a low priority issue since it's unlikely to affect many people who don't have failing hardware. ** Package changed: openldap (Ubuntu) => dpkg (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged ** Summary changed: - cannot install ia32-libs on Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64 + difficult to recover a system when a conffile of a M-A: same package has a corrupted checksum -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openldap in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994533 Title: difficult to recover a system when a conffile of a M-A: same package has a corrupted checksum To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/994533/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
