It says that your ldap database cannot be opened... There is a debconf option that says:
"Do you want the database to be removed when slapd is purged?" I wonder if you had that enabled before the upgrade. During slapd upgrade, it asks to create a backup of /var/lib/slapd: (c)rafaeldtinoco@focal:/var/lib/ldap$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p low slapd Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.d in /var/backups/slapd-2.4.49+dfsg-2ubuntu1.2... done. Moving old database directory to /var/backups: - directory unknown... done. Creating initial configuration... done. Creating LDAP directory... done. Do you have anything under /var/backups/* named '*slapd*' ? ** Changed in: openldap (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openldap in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878945 Title: crash slapd after update Status in openldap package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: hi, after update slapd to version 2.4.42+dfsg-2ubuntu3.8 I get not working ldap auth service; perform: slaptest -f /etc/ldap/slapd.conf -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d/ and get: 5ebeb45f hdb_db_open: database "dc=myBase": db_open(/var/lib/ldap/id2entry.bdb) failed: No such file or directory (2). 5ebeb45f backend_startup_one (type=hdb, suffix="dc=myBase"): bi_db_open failed!
