Hi Peder,

Can you please try the patch from Debian bug #723957:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;filename=fix-723957.debdiff;att=1;bug=723957

(apply it to slapd.postinst)

and see whether it resolves the problem for you? If it still fails, I'd
appreciate a dump of your config db (slapcat -n0) so I can reproduce it
myself.

Thanks!

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

Status in “openldap” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: slapd

  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.
