Public bug reported:

While attempting to perform an upgrade of my home server from Ubuntu
12.04 to Ubuntu 14.04, I received the following error:

===================================================================================
Error in function: 


A fatal error occurred 

Please report this as a bug and include the files 
/var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log and /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log in 
your report. The upgrade has aborted. 
Your original sources.list was saved in 
/etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade. 

SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Could not install the upgrades

The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A 
recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a). 

Setting up slapd (2.4.31-1+nmu2ubuntu8.2) ...

Upgrade complete

The upgrade has completed but there were errors during the upgrade 
process. 
===================================================================================

Admittedly, it's rather strange for a home server to use LDAP for
authentication but I don't have a terribly complex setup: openldap with
a fairly normal LDAP layout and SSSD for handling the PAM interface (no
kerberos - I did try it in the past but quickly gave it up as too
complex to maintain). Hence, I was rather expecting the upgrade to be
relatively smooth (as much as server upgrades ever are :).

As requested in the message I'm attaching /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log
and /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log
