Thanks for the report. Does commenting out the line SLAPD_CONF in /etc/default/slapd, followed by 'sudo apt-get -f install' resolve your problem?

[Sander Smeenk (ubuntu-freshdot)]

This affects me too. In a grave way. The package is somewhat unusable with automated installers and/or puppet/cfengine.

Steps to reproduce:
1) make sure your system has *NO* slapd package installed
2) create /etc/ldap/slapd.conf (contents does not matter)
3) install the slapd package.

Result:
Setting up slapd (2.4.25-1.1ubuntu4.1) ...
  Creating initial configuration... mkdir: cannot create directory `/etc/ldap/slapd.conf': File exists
dpkg: error processing slapd (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Also, on a sidenote, your postinst script is braindead. Your package offers a 'no_configuration' debconf setting but then fails to install the package since slapd wont start as there is no configuration:

# debconf-show slapd
* slapd/no_configuration: true

# apt-get install slapd
[ .. ]
Setting up slapd (2.4.25-1.1ubuntu4.1) ...
  Omitting slapd configuration as requested.
 * No configuration file was found for slapd at /etc/ldap/slapd.conf.
invoke-rc.d: initscript slapd, action "start" failed.
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)

Hi Andreas,

The approach you suggested to Sander appears to be working for me, however,
the following error occurred (please see the image attached). I'm not sure
if this error is related to the problem tracked by this bug thread.

Best regards,
