Hi all, a few weeks ago I was bitten by this bug as well. I found a way to work around the described slapd upgrade failure.
In Squeeze 6.0.1 the upgrade scripts worked as expected. Therefor I used an old repository from http://snapshot.debian.org/ to upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze 6.0.1: $ echo "deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20110616T030927Z/ squeeze main" > /etc/apt/sources.list $ apt-get update $ apt-get install apt aptitude dpkg $ apt-get dist-upgrade This dist-upgrade worked like a charm. Afterwards I changed my sources.list to something like "http.debian.net" and upgraded to current Squeeze release. I thought this could be of interest for someone else.
