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

[Nathan Stratton Treadway]

A few other notes:

Bug #526230 "On upgrade modifies multiple olcAccess definition are not
handled correclty" is definitely related to this one.  However, #526230
deals with a Jaunty->Karmic upgrade, and specifically mentions that the
pre-upgrade configuration had multiple oldAccess lines (so presumably it
had been customized locally).  I created a separate bug here in case
there is simple tweak to the slapd.postinst script that would allow the
Hardy->Lucid upgrade to work, but which wouldn't fix #526230.   On the
other hand, a more comprensive solution of some sort could certainly
resolve both bugs at the same time.


Also, I should mention that my goal when I added the "{1}" to the text of the new dn.exact=cn=localroot  line was simply to make the smallest possible change needed get "dpkg" to think that the package installation had succeeded (so that it would stop trying to reconfigure the package every time I installed some other package, etc.).

I haven't actually tried doing anything with my LDAP database yet, but I
as far as I understand the workings of the oldAccess lines, the
dn.exact=cn=localroot line as it now exists is actually completely
ignored, since the "{0}to *  by * none" line will prevent any lines with
higher sequence numbers from being processed.... So presumably the
actual fix will have to take some other approach to getting past this
error....
