package slapd 2.4.31-1+nmu2ubuntu8.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Dennis Leeuw]

The only thing that seems to fail is the start:

Processing triggers for man-db (2.6.7.1-1ubuntu1) ...
Setting up slapd (2.4.31-1+nmu2ubuntu8.2) ...
  Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.conf in /var/backups/slapd-2.4.31-1+nmu2ubuntu8.1... done.
 * Starting OpenLDAP slapd [fail]
invoke-rc.d: initscript slapd, action "start" failed.

This seems to be the problem:
/usr/sbin/slapd -h ldap:/// ldapi:/// -g openldap -u openldap -f /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

If I change it to:
/usr/sbin/slapd -h ldap:/// -g openldap -u openldap -f /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

All works fine.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Incomplete. I've tested slapd from trusty-updates and it does appear to install correctly. It looks like you have modified your slapd configuration, so perhaps slapd now needs to be started differently in order to match your changes?

If indeed this is a local configuration problem, you can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

Or if you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.
