Package: slapd Version: 2.2.23-5 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
While I have upgraded my system, slapd upgrade asked some questions, including directory to dump databases. The text said the default is /var/backups/slapd-VERSION. Reading that, I simply pushed enter. After that, the preinst script have failed, rendering slapd unconfigured. Meanwhile, apt has upgraded my libldap2 package. After that I have recognized that the error is that there is no default for this setting despite of the description, I tried to set this with dpkg-reconfigure, but it didn't asked this question again (maybe there is a switch for that, just I didn't found it). I had to manually edit /var/cache/debconf/config.dat (and that was not easy to find that this file is what I have to edit :( ). The game was not over: because of my libldap2 was upgraded, but slapd was not installed yet, slapcat didn't run. For some unknown reason the apt-get install slapd=2.1.23-1 libldap2=2.1.23-1 command said 'E: Version '2.1.23-1' for 'slapd' was not found', although my old packages were still in the cache directory. In the end, I successfully downgraded with dpkg. I still sucked with that the dumpdir already existed, and preinst didn't like it, but it was a piece of cake after these all. The most screamy was when it seemed that I cannot downgrade, and I system was useless. Do somebody have a tip what could cause that?
