Hi Jack,

Just wondering whether you'd seen my previous response on this bug (included below).

I was looking at this again, though, and noticed the debconf information on your original post:

-- Configuration Files:
/etc/default/slapd changed:
SLAPD_CONF=
SLAPD_USER="openldap"
SLAPD_GROUP="openldap"
SLAPD_PIDFILE=
SLAPD_SERVICES=""
SLAPD_SENTINEL_FILE=/etc/ldap/noslapd
SLAPD_OPTIONS="-f /etc/ldap/slapd.conf"

Setting the config file location this way is probably confusing the maintainer scripts and might even be the root cause of your problem. An empty SLAPD_CONF setting is equivalent to "-F /etc/ldap/slapd.d", i.e., using the new cn=config style. The config location (and type!) isn't parsed out of SLAPD_OPTIONS at all.

If you really want to use slapd.conf, I recommend reverting SLAPD_OPTIONS to the default SLAPD_OPTIONS="" and setting SLAPD_CONF="/etc/ldap/slapd.conf".

The package should probably be detecting this situation and warning you about it...

Interesting. I wonder how it got that way?

Can you confirm by pasting the output of:

grep -Frw 2.5.4.2 /etc/ldap/slapd.d

that it actually occurs twice in your config?

You might have some older config backups in /var/backups/slapd-*; can you also check those and see if you can determine in which version it was introduced?

What is your upgrade history like for slapd? Were you running 2.4.44+dfsg-5 and then upgraded to +deb9u1 before this upgrade to +deb9u2?

If there is a bug in the package, I would be most suspicious of the upgrade path from jessie to stretch...

thanks,
Ryan
