[Bug 658227] [NEW] won't start after Maverick upgrade; bdb "Program version 4.8 doesn't match environment version 4.7"

[Andrew Schulman]

Public bug reported:

I just upgraded from Lucid to Maverick, and now slapd won't start.  From
syslog:

Oct 11 06:10:31 helium slapd[12130]: @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.23 (Aug  7 2010 01:39:36) $#012#011buildd at yellow:/build/buildd/openldap-2.4.23/debian/build/servers/slapd
Oct 11 06:10:32 helium slapd[12131]: bdb(dc=5200-glenwood,dc=net): Program version 4.8 doesn't match environment version 4.7

Oct 11 06:10:32 helium slapd[12131]: backend_startup_one (type=hdb, suffix="dc=5200-glenwood,dc=net"): bi_db_open failed! (-30971)
Oct 11 06:10:32 helium slapd[12131]: bdb_db_close: database "dc=5200-glenwood,dc=net": alock_close failed
Oct 11 06:10:32 helium slapd[12131]: slapd stopped.

Information on the web says that I need to run some kind of manual
database upgrade to BDB 4.8, but I have no familiarity with the BDB
tools, and the recipes that are suggested are varied and uncertain.

Please suggest a workaround or manual upgrade, as some of my network
services are at a dead stop due to this problem.

Thanks,
Andrew.
