[Bug 577375] Re: package slapd 2.4.21-0ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Nathan Stratton Treadway]

The DpkgTerminalLog.txt file shows several attempts to upgrade the slapd
package, each with the same result; here is the output from one of them:

=================
Setting up slapd (2.4.21-0ubuntu5) ...
  Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.d/ in /var/backups/slapd-2.4.21-0ubuntu4... done.
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
try running the daemon in Debug mode like via "slapd -d 16383" (warning:
this will create copious output).

Below, you can find the command line options used by this script to 
run slapd. Do not forget to specify those options if you
want to look to debugging output:
  slapd -h 'ldap:/// ldapi:///' -g openldap -u openldap -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d/ 
invoke-rc.d: initscript slapd, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
=================

David, 
Can you post the lines that showed up in  /var/log/syslog file when the the upgrade script attempted to restart the slapd daemon?
