[Bug 538516] [NEW] slapd package configuration aborts due to "ordered_value_sort failed on attr olcAccess" error during Hardy -> Lucid upgrade

[Nathan Stratton Treadway]

Public bug reported:

I recently upgraded my server from Hardy to Lucid, using "do-release-
upgrade -d" from the command line.

When the upgrade process attempted to install the new version of the
slapd package, the package installation/configuration failed due to
problems with the DBD database files (as I reported in bug #536958).

Once I resolved that problem, I re-ran "dpkg --pending --configure", and the configuration script was able to successfully convert my slapd.conf file to the slapd.d configuration directory.  However, a second later, I received  the following error message:
  Starting OpenLDAP: slapd - failed.
  The operation failed but no output was produced. For hints on what went
  wrong please refer to the system's logfiles (e.g. /var/log/syslog) or
  [...]
  invoke-rc.d: initscript slapd, action "start" failed.
  dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure):

Sure enough, the syslog file contained the following:
  Mar 11 20:43:23 suza slapd[7087]: @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.21 (Feb 18 2010 06:12:56) $#012#011buildd at yellow:/build/buildd/openldap-2.4.21/debian/build/servers/slapd
  Mar 11 20:43:23 suza slapd[7087]: config error processing olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config: ordered_value_sort failed on attr olcAccess#012
  Mar 11 20:43:23 suza slapd[7087]: slapd stopped.

Since the slapd.postinst returns an exit status in this situation, the
slapd package is left in half-configured status.
