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

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 ...
