Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.23-4
Severity: important
As my ldap server propose several database, I put them in sub directories
of /var/lib/ldap/ (in this test machine, there is only one database in
/var/lib/ldap/danjean instead of /var/lib/ldap by default)
Migration scripts fail and tips they give to solve the problem also fail.
During upgrade:

Moving old database directories to /var/backups:
There are leftover files in /var/lib/ldap/danjean. This will probably break
creating the initial directory. If that's the case please move away
stuff in there and retry the configuration.
Loading from /var/backups/slapd-2.4.17-2.1:

Then, I tried to move the database away as asked :

r...@ogmios:/home/vdanjean# dpkg -a --configure

Looking into slapd postinst, I see that debconf slapd/move_old_database can
help me. However, dpkg-reconfigure does not work on not-installed package:
r...@ogmios:/home/vdanjean# dpkg-reconfigure slapd
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: slapd est cassé ou partiellement installé
Reconfiguring debconf priority to low (depkg-reconfigure debconf) did not help
(I do not see the question when running "dpkg -a --configure")
The only working tip has been to manually edit /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
and set slapd/move_old_database to true.
And then:
r...@ogmios:/home/vdanjean# dpkg -a --configure

Starting OpenLDAP: slapd.
You should really propose easiest way to upgrade slapd when non standard
configuration is found (at least, a way to leave the package in a installed
state even if the config migration is not completed).
Perhaps, reasking the slapd/move_old_database question can be a solution (at
least for interactive upgrade)
