[Bug 574474] Re: Dist-Upgrade Karmic->Lucid: Upgrading slapd fails with "chown: invalid argument: `'"

[joschi]

I had the same problem upgrading slapd on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

Using a workaround (commenting out SLAPD_CONF in /etc/default/slapd and
running `aptitude -f install`) I was able to make dpkg happy.

Generally it's IMHO a bad idea to do too much magic in the postinst
script of the slapd package - at least if it breaks so easily.

Unfortunately the new dynamic configuration (cn=config) is no viable
alternative at the moment, as not all modules configuration is available
through it (e. g. it's not possible to configure a meta backend using
the new configuration style).
