Package: slapd
Version: 2.1.30-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

It seems the default value for slapd/dump_database_destdir is set
incorrectly: I just hit enter in debconf to accept the default value
and as a result it is now set to the empty string:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can specify into which directory the LDAP databases are to be exported. The 
string VERSION is replaced with the server version you are upgrading from.

Directory to dump databases 


Selecting previously deselected package libldap-2.2-7.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The end result is:

Preconfiguring packages ...
(Reading database ... 46759 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace slapd 2.1.30-3 (using .../slapd_2.2.23-1_i386.deb) ...
Stopping OpenLDAP: slurpd slapd.
Stopping OpenLDAP: slurpd slapd.
mkdir: cannot create directory `': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/slapd_2.2.23-1_i386.deb 
(--unpack):
 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Starting OpenLDAP: slapd slurpd.

dpkg-reconfiger slapd does not ask that question again which means that
I'm now effectively with a broken slapd package.

Wichert.
