severity 306435 important thanks
A hidden file (probably admin created) in /var/lib/ldap broke the slapd upgrade when the backed up database was restored. It appears that all VISIBLE files were removed from this directory as part of the upgrade, this procedure should be extended to ALL files.
What do you mean by "hidden" file? Do you mean a dotfile (filename begins with ".")?
Yes.
Since there is obviously a workaround for this problem, and since the maintainer scripts handle upgrades for normal use cases of /var/lib/ldap just fine (it is not normal to create extra files in /var/lib/ldap, a directory owned by the slapd server), I don't believe this bug should be RC.
On further inspection it appears that the temporary dotfile was an artifact of a previous slapd upgrade or related procedure. This machine was never Woody so it may not affect upgraders however it has been testing for a long time so who knows?
Cheers
