Package: slapd Version: 2.3.24-2 Severity: important Hi!
The "schemacheck" option has been dropped in the new upstream release. This means that slapd will always check the schemas from now on. If a current installation has the option set to "schemacheck off", where the schemas aren't completely fulfilled, then slapd suddenly won't start after upgrade. Even though I understand that there might be good reasons to be strict about checking the schemas, this is breaking the current installations that make use of this previous option, which I find quite unacceptable. I found this in OpenLDAP mailing lists: http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200509/msg00476.html Apparently, it was removed because it was difficult to implement it, or something like that. They say they'd accept a patch that re-adds it, I don't know how difficult this might be. I'm really disappointed at this feature removal. I don't know if there is a fix. But at least there should be a warning on postinst, and it should be documented in README.Debian :-\ Love, Marga -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-3-k7 Locale: LANG=es_AR, LC_CTYPE=es_AR (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages slapd depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii coreutils 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-18 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libiodbc2 3.52.4-3 iODBC Driver Manager ii libldap-2.3-0 2.3.24-2 OpenLDAP libraries ii libltdl3 1.5.6-6 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii libperl5.8 5.8.8-4 Shared Perl library ii libsasl2 2.1.19.dfsg1-0.2 Authentication abstraction library ii libslp1 1.0.11a-2 OpenSLP libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8b-2 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii perl [libmime-base64-pe 5.8.8-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 21.5-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy Versions of packages slapd recommends: ii db4.2-util 4.2.52-18 Berkeley v4.2 Database Utilities ii libsasl2-modules 2.1.19.dfsg1-0.2 Pluggable Authentication Modules f -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
