Bug#768509: debian-edu-config: After upgrading a Wheezy main-server to Debian 7.7 the Gosa gui fails to connect to LDAP



control: severity -1 serious
control: notfound -1 1.813

Hi,

Wolfgang, thanks for filing this bug! It was useful already, from reading the 
mails to quickly I thought this bug affected our jessie version..! (and not 
the stable wheezy release as it's now clear.)

Leaving lots of context for the gosa maintainers...:
