package slapd 2.4.11-0ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Binary package hint: slapd

I have had terrible trouble getting slapd (openldap) installed and working, and now I am getting this error when trying to install via synaptic

the whole openldap situation needs to be looked at and some uptodate info added

for instance it looks in /etc/ldap/slapd.d/slapd.conf for it's config

but it puts it in /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf

According to the log files, slapd has been successfully installed twice before the failure. Did you try to compile openldap from source and installed it in /usr/local before the failed attempt?

Hello,

I've upgraded several systems running slapd and I don't have a /usr/local/etc/openldap directory. Were you running the slapd package from the main repository?

From these lines in your DpkgTerminalLog:

    slapadd: /usr/local/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2: no version information available (required by slapadd)^M
    slapadd: /usr/local/lib/liblber-2.4.so.2: no version information available (required by slapadd)^M
    slapadd: relocation error: slapadd: symbol ldap_pvt_sasl_mutex_dispose, version OPENLDAP_2.4_2 not defined in file libldap_r-2.4.so.2 with link time reference^M

It looks like you have a locally compiled version of OpenLDAP.

Thanks

I tried to install openldap by compiling the source. I then tried to install it from the package manager and I got this error message.

As pointed out by Adam, slapd is looking for libraries in /usr/local/lib/. Your compilation and installation of openldap from source put libraries and binaries in /usr/local/ which takes precedence over system installed ones. Try to remove the locally compiled version of openldap and update the library cache. It should fix your system installed package.
