Package: slapd Version: 2.4.23-4 Severity: grave When upgrading from 2.4.23-2 to 2.4.23-4, I get a debconf message that tells me that slapcat failed during upgrade. dpkg then aborts with a failure.
Also, contrary to the debconf message, the database files are not moved into /var/backup. I am guessing that the problem could have to do with slapd not being started on boot on my system. #593550 has some info about how to resolve the problem, but I think this information should be in slapd's README.Debian. Here is the log from the attempted upgrade: Preconfiguring packages ... (Reading database ... 261556 files and directories currently installed.)
