Hi, I installed a new machine very similar to the original one. I couldn't install exactly the same packages, a couple of locally installed ones aren't available anymore. But the diff of the /var/lib/dpkg/status files were really small. Then I replaced /var/lib/dpkg/status and /var/lib/apt/pkgstates with those from the old system, and did the same upgrade (at least I tried to mimic the steps). "Unfortunately" the slapd upgrade went all right (actually, the whole upgrade did). The relevant (egrep 'libldap|slapd') part of the pkgDpkgPM=true output is:
