[Bug 903901] [NEW] [Lucid] backport fix for ITS#6458

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundation's Bug Bot (crichton):

The problem:

Replication fails if an attribute of a multi-value attribute entry is
removed if the attribute does not have a equality matching rule defined
in the schema.

The problem can be mitigated temporarily by a doing a full re-sync by
removing the affected database and restarting the service to trigger a
full sync.

This is fixed upstream beginning with the slapd 2.4.25 branch:

openldap-2.4.25/CHANGES: Fixed slapd syncrepl for attributes with no
matching rule (ITS#6458)

For Ubuntu, this translates to the fix appearing in Oneiric:

slapd | 2.4.21-0ubuntu5.6 | lucid-updates
slapd | 2.4.23-6ubuntu6.1 | natty-updates
slapd | 2.4.25-1.1ubuntu4 | oneiric-updates

I am requesting the fix be backported at least to Lucid.

Upstream bug:

SRU Justification:

[Impact]: TBC
[Development Fix]: Fixed in an upstream release and thus already present since Oneiric
[Stable Fix]: lucid-proposed.debdiff, attached - patches taken from upstream git repository
[Test Case]: TBC
[Regression Potential]: looks to be minimal from looking at the patch. There appears to be a comprehensive test suite that continues to pass with this patch applied.
