1353592 – Setup-ds.pl --update fails

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Punit Kundal 2016-07-07 14:00:04 UTC

Description of problem:
Setup-ds.pl --update fails

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep 389
389-ds-base-libs-1.3.5.10-1.el7.x86_64
389-ds-base-1.3.5.10-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Created a Standalone DS instance
2. Ran an Online update as below:
[root@localhost ~]# setup-ds.pl --update
 
==============================================================================
This program will update the 389 Directory Server.
 
It is recommended that you have "root" privilege to perform the update.
Tips for using this  program:
  - Press "Enter" to choose the default and go to the next screen
  - Type "Control-B" or the word "back" then "Enter" to go back to the previous screen
  - Type "Control-C" to cancel the update
 
Would you like to continue with update? [yes]: yes
 
==============================================================================
 
The update process can work in one of two modes:
 
  - Online: The changes are made to the running directory servers using LDAP.
            The operations must be performed as an administrative user.
            You must provide the name and password, for each instance
            if there is more than one instance of directory server.
            Some operations may require a directory server restart to take
            effect.  The update script will notify you if you need to restart
            the server.
 
  - Offline: The changes are made to the server configuration files.  The
             servers MUST FIRST BE SHUTDOWN BY YOU.  The script will not
             shutdown the servers for you.  You MUST shutdown the
             servers in order to use this mode.  A username and password
             are not required to use Offline mode.  If the servers are not
             shutdown, CHANGES WILL BE LOST.
 
To summarize:
  Online - servers remain running - you must provide admin name and password
           for each server - servers may need to be restarted
  Offline - servers must be shutdown - no username or password required
 
Which update mode do you want to use? [quit]: Online
==============================================================================
Please specify the authentication data for 'slapd-ds'
 
Full DN of administrative user [cn=Directory Manager]:
Password for this user: 


Actual results:
The update process failed as below

Error: not applying update /usr/share/dirsrv/updates/91reindex.pl. Error: syntax error at /usr/share/dirsrv/updates/91reindex.pl line 17, near ")

errors

Additional info:
Tried an Offline update as well and it failed too
