Package: slapd Version: 2.2.23-8 Severity: normal As suggested by dbconf I've placed TRY_BDB_RECOVERY=yes in my /etc/default/slapd. The deamon is running as user slapd (SLAPD_USER=slapd, SLAPD_GROUP=slapd).
The recovery process is changing the owner of /var/lib/ldap/*db.* to root:root, causing slapd to stop immediately after start. $ tail -f /var/log/slapd.log slapd[7604]: @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.2.23 (May 30 2005 08:52:42) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/torsten/packages/openldap/openldap2.2-2.2.23/debian/build/servers/slapd slapd[7604]: bdb_db_init: Initializing BDB database bdb_db_open: dbenv_open failed: Permission denied (13) slapd[7605]: backend_startup: bi_db_open failed!

Workaround: Disable TRY_BDB_RECOVERY and change the owner back to slapd:slapd.
