hi,
after update slapd to version 2.4.42+dfsg-2ubuntu3.8 I get not working ldap auth service;
perform: slaptest -f /etc/ldap/slapd.conf -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d/ and get:
5ebeb45f hdb_db_open: database "dc=myBase": db_open(/var/lib/ldap/id2entry.bdb) failed: No such file or directory (2).
5ebeb45f backend_startup_one (type=hdb, suffix="dc=myBase"): bi_db_open failed! (2)
slap_startup failed (test would succeed using the -u switch)

help, please!
It says that your ldap database cannot be opened... There is a debconf option that says:
"Do you want the database to be removed when slapd is purged?"
I wonder if you had that enabled before the upgrade.
During slapd upgrade, it asks to create a backup of /var/lib/slapd:
(c)rafaeldtinoc
Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.d in /var/backups/
Moving old database directory to /var/backups:
- directory unknown... done.
Creating initial configuration... done.
Creating LDAP directory... done.
Do you have anything under /var/backups/* named '*slapd*' ?
