Description Mattias Ellert 2022-10-10 17:58:10 UTC

This bug was originally reported against the openldap-epel package in EPEL 9.

The openldap-epel package is based on the openldap package (providing the subpackages not shipped in RHEL), and the rpm scriptlets for the openldap-servers package are the same.

The issue described in the original bug report affecting an updates from 2.6.2-1.el9 to 2.6.2-2.el9 also affects Fedora, e.g. the recent update from 2.6.2-3.fc36 to 2.6.3-1.fc36 where the UPGRADE_INSTRUCTIONS file is left in place even though the update is from one 2.6 version to an other. This causes slapd not to restart after upgrade. Is this the intended behaviour also when updating from 2.6.x to 2.6.x+1, or from 2.6.x-n to 2.6.x-n+1?

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2131659 +++

Description of problem:

Recent versions of the openldap-servers package (2.6+) fail to start if UPGRADE_INSTRUCTIONS exists. This is to indicate to the admin that changes need to be made between version 2.4 and 2.6.

But the file is also kept when an upgrade is performed from 2.6.2-1 to 2.6.2-2, which is the same (major) version. This isn't necessary and causes unnecessary downtime due to updates.

Looking at the postinst scripts, it seems the UPGRADE_INSTRUCTIONS file is only removed on new installs, but never on upgrades. I believe it should also be removed if the major version of the old and new package matches. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openldap-servers-2.6.2-2.el9.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install openldap-servers-2.6.2-1.el9.x86_64
2. Update to openldap-servers-2.6.2-2.el9.x86_64
3.

Actual results:
slapd is no longer running because UPGRADE_INSTRUCTIONS exists

Expected results:
slapd running after upgrade

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '36'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Fedora Linux 36 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2023-05-16.

Fedora Linux 36 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
