I don't know that this fixed it, but I coincidentally had to fix a problem with our SSL certificate, and once I did so, slapd restarted properly.
I had the package ca-certificates installed, and it used to have a file called cacert.org.crt. I had symlinked that to a file in /etc/ssl/certs for use with our cacert-generated SSL certificate for finkdeveloper.net. Unfortunately, the ca-certificates package upgrade replaced that file with 2 files, root.crt and class3.crt so our ssl cert was now a dangling symlink. I control-C'd the upgrade, and had to kill off the slapcat manually. Once I fixed the symlink, the upgrade worked.
