Description Pierre Ossman 2007-05-15 09:35:18 UTC

WTF guys!

The nightly upgrade to openldap-servers-2.3.30-2.fc6 decided to eat my database.
I assume there is some compatibility issue as it moved all the files to an
"rpmorig" subdirectory. No harm no foul there, but it then proceded to
initialise a blank database and start that.

So for the last 6 hours (befote I got wind of this) the incoming mail server has
been tossing out every mail with "user unknown". I.e. a permanent error so those
mail are forever gone.

If you include an automatic update service, I expect to be able to use it. A
downed server would be okay, a running blank database that causes lost mail is not.

My problem is of course solved, but you really need to be more careful in the
future with how your packets upgrade. At least when it comes to a critical
component like this.

I copletelly aggree with you, unfortunatelly this bug is caused by wrong
%preun/%postun in the previus release (openldap-servers-2.3.27-4), which were
executed just now. See bug #230959 - it's the same bug, but for rawhide, so the
version numbers are different.

Just copy the database from /var/lib/ldap/rpmorig to /var/lib/ to restore your db.

Updates _from_ openldap-servers-2.3.30-2.fc6 to newer version should be ok.
