Hi Torsten,

I just installed another package of slapd. In fact it was the first
package installed after I followed your advice to use "echo FSET
slapd/dump_database_destdir seen false|debconf-communicate". So I was
asked whether I wanted an automatic dump, and I was asked the question
about the destination directory. I just pressed enter since the default
destination directory is fine for me. Installation aborted since
postinst could not backup slapd.conf to directory ''.

Well, I am too tired now to figure out whether this is a result of my
manual setting of dump_database_destdir or it is because I accepted with
enter and actually there is no default.

Anyway, the following simple patch should be correct in both cases,
postinst ran smoothly after applying.

Thanks,
Thomas
