[Bug 971056] Re: Upgrade overwrites LDAP config with defaults

[Thomas Schweikle]

The file "/etc/ldap.conf" was backed up to "/var/backups/", while
"/etc/ldap/ldap.conf" was not. Both files are overwritten by upgrading
via "do-release-upgrade -d" while a normal upgrade doesn't overwrite
them.

The file "/etc/ldap.conf" was replaced by default values, but some
values were patched with actual system given ones. These where added at
the end of the file. This is one line added: "nss_initgroups_ignoreusers
backup,bacula,bin,daemon,games,gnats,irc,libuuid,list,lp,mail,man,messagebus,news,openldap,proxy,root,sshd,statd,sync,sys,syslog,uucp
,www-data"

The file "/etc/ldap/ldap.conf" was replaced by default values. All changes had to be made again manually.
The file: 
[pre]
#
# LDAP Defaults
#

# See ldap.conf(5) for details
# This file should be world readable but not world writable.

BASE            dc=xxxxx,dc=de
URI             ldap://ks1.xxxxx.de ldap://ks2.xxxxx.de
SASL_MECH       GSSAPI

SIZELIMIT       0
TIMELIMIT       0
DEREF           never
[/pre]

was replaced by
[pre]
#
# LDAP Defaults
#

# See ldap.conf(5) for details
# This file should be world readable but not world writable.

#BASE   dc=example,dc=com
#URI    ldap://ldap.example.com ldap://ldap-master.example.com:666

#SIZELIMIT      12
#TIMELIMIT      15
#DEREF          never

# TLS certificates (needed for GnuTLS)
TLS_CACERT      /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
[/pre]
