Comment 22 for bug 112631

Can I join this problem?

I've upgraded from Edgy to Karmic - this is a development machine so I'm not too worried failure, however everything seemed to work okay which was pretty amazing as I came through a number of EOL supported releases.

Anyways, the point of doing this upgrade was to test my my application with OpenLDAP, however my LDAP system won't now run.

PS I did have the LDAP server working on Edgy before this started...

Through the upgrade I was getting errors about SLAPD regarding <schemacheck> and <checkpoint> not being valid directives... so I commented them out. And tried to continue. Then I was getting errors about the database can't be opened so I tried to remove the package and then --reinstall and now I'm getting a version error:

root@rimu:~# sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils

Migrating slapd.conf file (/etc/ldap/slapd.conf) to slapd.d failed with the following error while running slaptest:
    bdb(dc=myfocus,dc=com): Program version 4.7 doesn't match environment version 0.33
    bdb_db_open: database "dc=myfocus,dc=com" cannot be opened, err -30971. Restore from backup!

    slap_startup failed (test would succeed using the -u switch)
dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 slapd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I just want to get OpenLDAP working again. How can I now get to a fresh install of this package??? Any attempt to remove or install now results in this same error!

HHHEEELLLPPP I'm absolutely stuck with no where to go.... well, maybe with the exception of some other Linux version...

PS I'll upload my slapd.conf as well. Let me know if you need anything else.

Cheers
