Yes, you are probably right: I haven't truncated the default database before filling in the new data. After the update I had to recover LDAP database from backup LDIFF, which didn't contain the "erroneous" data referring "dc=nodomain". My fault. But I couldn't avoid this trap, as I didn't know the databases contains some extra entries describing some other domain. So what I can suggest (and maybe you come with better solution) is: - Installation does not add any entries to slapd database by default, leaving it empty. Maybe document something in README.Debian... hopefully someone reads it. or - Update script checks the data for consistency after/during a dump. It should fail the package update, asking the administrator to fix the database before doing the actual update. Otherwise update will fail at later stage, leaving the database empty which is a catastrophe. -- With best regards, Dmitry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
