[Bug 796329] Re: package slapd 2.4.23-6ubuntu6 failed to remove: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[James Page]

Hi Patrick

It looks like the olcPidFile entry is missing from your slapd
configuration; I also noticed this error in your original bug report:

 CNConfig: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

which indicates that the configuration is general not good.

The premoval script attempts to shutdown slapd prior to removing the
package; if the olcPidFile entry is not present in
/etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config.ldif or /etc/ldap/slapd.conf (depending on
your configuration style) the removal will fail as it is unable to
shutdown the slapd process.

You should be able to resolve this situation by running the following
commands (if you are using /etc/ldap/slapd.d configuration style):

  sudo echo "olcPidFile: /var/run/slapd/slapd.pid" >> /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config.ldif
  sudo apt-get remove slapd

Please mark this bug report as 'Invalid' if this resolves your issue.

Thanks
