[Bug 112631] Re: [apport] package slapd failed to install/upgrade:

[Wouter van Heyst]

I've also hit this on upgrade. It seems like the situation might be slightly complex. 
My ldap config does not use the slapd.conf method, but cn=config.

/etc/ldap/ldap.conf contains:

    BASE dc=company, dc=com
    URL ldap://localhost/

Running dpkg --configure gives:

    sudo dpkg --configure slapd
    Setting up slapd (2.4.15-1ubuntu3) ...
      Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.d/ in /var/backups/slapd-2.4.11-0ubuntu6.1... done.
      Moving old database directories to /var/backups:
      Loading from /var/backups/slapd-2.4.11-0ubuntu6.1: 
      - directory dc=company,dc=com... failed.

    Loading the database from the LDIF dump failed with the following
    error while running slapadd:
        slapadd: line 1: database (dc=company,dc=com) not configured to hold "dc=nodomain"
        slapadd: line 1: database (dc=company,dc=com) not configured to hold "dc=nodomain"
    dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure):
     subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     slapd

The contents of the  /var/backups/slapd-2.4.11-0ubuntu6.1 directory:

    100 -rw-r--r-- 1 root     root     94218 2009-05-22 14:10 dc=company,dc=com.ldif
      4 drwxr-x--- 3 openldap openldap  4096 2009-05-22 15:13 slapd.d


Look at the .ldif mentioned there, it contains the following two entries:

    dn: dc=nodomain
    objectClass: top
    objectClass: dcObject
    objectClass: organization
    o: nodomain
    dc: nodomain
    structuralObjectClass: organization
    entryUUID: cc19087c-404b-102d-96c3-01fea4f68a30
    creatorsName:
    createTimestamp: 20081106124011Z
    entryCSN: 20081106124011.789553Z#000000#000#000000
    modifiersName:
    modifyTimestamp: 20081106124011Z

    dn: cn=admin,dc=nodomain
    objectClass: simpleSecurityObject
    objectClass: organizationalRole
    cn: admin
    description: LDAP administrator
    userPassword:: <PASSWORDHASHHERE>
    structuralObjectClass: organizationalRole
    entryUUID: cc19c4b0-404b-102d-96c4-01fea4f68a30
    creatorsName:
    createTimestamp: 20081106124011Z
    entryCSN: 20081106124011.794497Z#000000#000#000000
    modifiersName:
    modifyTimestamp: 20081106124011Z


But _also_ sections like these with the correct dc=company,dc=com.

My wild guess is that /var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd.postinst is at fault,
specifically

set_defaults_for_unseen_entries() with it's:

    DOMAIN=`hostname -d 2>/dev/null` || true
    if [ -z "$DOMAIN" ]; then DOMAIN='nodomain'; fi
