  I think the following information would be useful:

    1. /var/log/aptitude, to confirm that aptitude was intending to
       install the dependencies of slapd after upgrading it.
    2. A typescript of the upgrade with "-o Debug::pkgDpkgPM=true"
       added (both to get more debugging information and to see what
       happened in the install sequence before slapd was removed).
       If you're worried about messing up your system, you could
       temporarily replace dpkg with a symlink to /bin/true.

  I doubt this is an aptitude bug -- most likely it has to do with what
arguments are being passed to dpkg, and that all lives in apt.  But I'm
leaving this afternoon to go on vacation for a week, so someone else may
have to reassign it once we've confirmed that.

  Daniel
