When upgrading slapd, I observed the following:
root@ubuntu:~# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done

Setting up slapd (2.4.28-1.1ubuntu4.4) ...
Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.d in /var/backups/slapd-2.4.28-1.1ubuntu4.3... cp:
cannot overwrite directory `/var/backups/slapd-2.4.28-1.1ubuntu4.3/slapd.d'
with non-directory
dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
slapd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
root@ubuntu:~#
Now, I take the reason it did not like my /etc/ldap/slapd.d is because
it is an alias (/etc/ldap/slapd.d -> /export/ldap/slapd). But, why
should it care? There are many ways to copy an alias and expand it in
the process. And, I have not noticed such behaviour before. Did
something change in apt or openldap to make the postinstall annoyed at
the alias?
The proposed solution/workaround worked but it still possible that it
will fail next time.
