Description Rik Theys 2022-10-03 06:46:45 UTC 
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
