Bug#495954: struggling to reproduce
Hi,
I installed a new machine very similar to the original one. I
couldn't install exactly the same packages, a couple of locally
installed ones aren't available anymore. But the diff of the
/var/lib/dpkg/status files were really small. Then I replaced
/var/lib/dpkg/status and /var/lib/apt/pkgstates with those from the
old system, and did the same upgrade (at least I tried to mimic the
steps). "Unfortunately" the slapd upgrade went all right (actually,
the whole upgrade did). The relevant (egrep 'libldap|slapd') part of
the pkgDpkgPM=true output is:
/usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 36 --unpack [...] /var/cache/apt/archives/ldap-utils_2.4.10-3_i386.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/slapd_2.4.10-3_i386.deb
/usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 38 --force-depends --force-remove-essential --remove libldap-2.3-0
/usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 72 --unpack [...] /var/cache/apt/archives/libldap2-dev_2.4.10-3_i386.deb [...]
/usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 94 --force-depends --force-remove-essential --remove libldap2
/usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 96 --unpack /var/cache/apt/archives/libldap-2.4-2_2.4.10-3_i386.deb [...]
/usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 254 --configure [...] libldap-2.4-2 [...] slapd [...] libldap2-dev [...]
The aptitude logs also showed some differences (apart from some
version differences due to testing moving on):

I can try to work these kinks out, but at least the first one seems
out of reach (and at the same time: relevant). I'd be grateful for
ideas. No I have the full typescripts, but what for...

Thanks,
