Package: slapd Version: 2.3.30-2 Severity: normal
I had a really unpleasant upgrade of my small-time (but essential to me) server to etch yesterday night. When upgrading I read the NEWS entries and skimmed to the changelog as always, but didn't find any screaming messages... When slapd was upgraded however didn't start again, which is really problematic because it has the user database. After some sweating debugging I found the main problem was the removal of the ldbm backend (which used to be the default). It is not funny to see your ldap database go down, with no trivial way to reload, because the driver for ldbm is gone. Fortunately you do dump the database to a ldif file, which can be easily loaded. Now you probably must have good reasons to do so, and they are documented in the README.Debian, but this really deserves a NEWS file so people can be prepared. [ A second problem was the fact that there was no directory were the openldap user could write it's pid file to. Not sure if I should file a second report about this... ] grts Tim -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13.1 Locale: LANG=nl_NL, LC_CTYPE=nl_NL (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to nl_NL.utf8) Versions of packages slapd depends on: ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii coreutils 5.97-5 The GNU core utilities ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.2 4.2.52+dfsg-1 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libiodbc2 3.52.4-3 iODBC Driver Manager ii libldap-2.3-0 2.3.30-2 OpenLDAP libraries ii libltdl3 1.5.22-4 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii libperl5.8 5.8.8-7 Shared Perl library ii libsasl2-2 2.1.22.dfsg1-8 Authentication abstraction library ii libslp1 1.2.1-6 OpenSLP libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8c-4 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-12 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii perl [libmime-base64-perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 22.3-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy Versions of packages slapd recommends: ii libsasl2-modules 2.1.22.dfsg1-8 Pluggable Authentication Modules f -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
