Upgrade fails with multiple database backends defined

Could you repost the /var/log/dist-upgrade/ contents? It apparently got truncated to 40bytes...

added new tar file.

I could fix my openldap installation by purging and re-installing the slapd and ldap-utils packages. Doing this, my database got deleted, but after rebuilding it everything works now as before.

Well, if nothing else I believe I've pinpointed the relevant error message

Will have to get back to you on the how and why. Not that familiar with the slapd package. (yet)

Could you confirm that you had 2 databases defined in your slapd?

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

I don't use openldap anymore. But if it helps, this is how the slapd was setup originally. This was before intrepid. I just did a fresh installation and added some lines to slapd.conf. This is from our installation notes:

sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils
echo -e "\ndatabase hdb\nsuffix \"dc=api,dc=no\"\nrootdn \"cn=Manager,dc=api,dc=no\"\nrootpw password" | sudo tee -a /etc/ldap/slapd.conf
sudo /etc/init.d/slapd restart

I did not remove the preconfigured "nodomain" entry, so I guess i had 2 databases, yes.

With the upgrade to intrepid, the slapd was converted to a new configuration format. But I can't help with further details on the new format.
