[Bug 658227] Re: upgrade process does not upgrade underlying BDB format from 4.7 to 4.8 (so slapd aborts with "Program version 4.8 doesn't match environment version 4.7" error message)

[Nathan Stratton Treadway]

I think this proposed patch will not do anything to help people who've
already upgraded from Lucid to Maverick, but who have just left the
package half-configured because of this problem (since it won't trigger
the upgrade if the $OLD_VERSION is "2.4.23-0ubuntu3", for example).

I guess that's unavoidable, since on a system in that situation the
slapd.preinst wouldn't be able to run the database export, anyway (since
the "slapcat" binary would also give the "Program version 4.8 don't
match" error on such a system).

Still, I wonder if it makes sense to have the changelog say something
like "If you previously upgraded from a Lucid version of slapd to
2.4.23-0ubuntuX and haven't  already manually upgraded the slapd
database version, you will need to follow the  steps described in that
bug." or whatever?
