You know execution paths best. Just to make sure: This question was intended to ask the user whether he wants an automatic upgrade. Whether the database should be dumped therefore is not the question but the consequence? If this is the case then that is the option I did not find when upgrading packages :) I am not quite sure what the meaning of the option "when needed" is in this context. Either I want an automatic upgrade or not. Perhaps the following wording would fit better? Template: slapd/dump_database Type: select Choices: always, never Default: when needed Description: Upgrade database without user intervention Upgrading to new versions of OpenLDAP sometimes require rebuilding the database. This can be done automatically which means that no user intervention is required if you are lucky. If an automatic upgrade is desired the database has to be dumped to a plain text file, called an LDIF file. Then a new database will be created and the contents restored.
