preinst dumps two database but the load post upgrade due to format change fails

I think this might be related to bug 365915 - but I can't believe that was never fixed...

Hi Ademar

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.

I would recommend for the time being that you delete the example dc=nodomain - this is a legacy from older releases which provided an example set of data.

You should then be able to upgrade openldap.

Marking importance as 'Low' for the time being as this is the first we have seen during precise.

[James Page (james-page)]

Please could you provide output from the following command in this bug report:

   ls -l /var/backups/slapd-2.4.25-1.1ubuntu4.1

If you could also check that each of the ldif files that should be in that directory contain data for nodomain and case.lan that would also be helpful.

Marking incomplete pending your response.
