[Peder Stray <322944@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Still encountered in upgrade to 14.04, due to a few cases of a missing
-h parameter to grep when finding the value of olcDbDirectory. In my
case the suffix is stored in two backends, one of them on disk, causing
a grep with more than one file on the command line, and thus the result
of grep beeing prefixed with "<filename>:", which again causes "| cut
-d: -f 2" to return "olcDbDirectory" instead of "/var/lib/ldap".

Title:
  slapd upgrade fails: chown: cannot access
  `olcDbDirectory\nolcDbDirectory': No such file or directory

  The attempt to parse out the olcDbDirectory in /var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd.postinst:get_directory() fails if there is more than one matching file, which there is on my system - there's an emacs backup file (i.e. olcDatabase={1}hdb.ldif~). Made the following patch:

                  for f in `get_all_slapd_conf_files`; do

  which is more robust in the face of multiple matches. Extra credit is
  given for explicitly grepping out junk.
