Public bug reported:
I'm upgrading my server from Intrepid to Jaunty. Straight upgrade,
nothing fancy. It should just work.
Note : etckeeper was misconfigured and I ctrl+c the first upgrade
attempt. It's the only bad thing I did (and I should be allowed to do
so).
Then, the whole upgrade failed on slapd because :
Setting up slapd (2.4.15-1ubuntu3) ...
Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.conf in /var/backups/slapd-2.4.11-0ubuntu6.1...
done.
Moving old database directories to /var/backups:
Backup path /var/backups/dc=ploum,dc=net-2.4.11-0ubuntu6.1.ldapdb exists.
Giving up...
dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure):
Ok, I removed the backup (and I have to remove it at each attempt ! This is an
incridibly stupid upgrade script)
Setting up slapd (2.4.15-1ubuntu3) ...
Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.conf in /var/backups/slapd-2.4.11-0ubuntu6.1...
done.
Moving old database directories to /var/backups:
- directory dc=ploum,dc=net... done.
Loading from /var/backups/slapd-2.4.11-0ubuntu6.1:
Directory /var/lib/ldap for dc=ploum,dc=net not empty, aborting.
dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure):
WTF ? I then emptied the folder by hand (I of course keep a backup)
Setting up slapd (2.4.15-1ubuntu3) ...
Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.conf in /var/backups/slapd-2.4.11-0ubuntu6.1...
done.
Moving old database directories to /var/backups:
- directory dc=ploum,dc=net... done.
Loading from /var/backups/slapd-2.4.11-0ubuntu6.1:
- directory dc=ploum,dc=net... failed.
Loading the database from the LDIF dump failed with the following
error while running slapadd:
ldif_read_file: Not a directory for "/etc/ldap/slapd.conf/cn=config.ldif"
slapadd: bad configuration directory!
dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure):
Ok, Now I'm there, stuck in the middle of the upgrade not understanding what to
do and, more importantly, what that script want to do.
As I have a relatively simple ldap setup, I think the upgrade could be
crazy for more complex stuffs.
