#212976 — SLAPD_SENTINEL_FILE problem and openldap / slapds jessie changelog missing

Hi Debian lovers

I struggle to find the current changelog for slapd/openldap.

[root@host ~]# dpkg -l | grep slap
ii  slapd 2.4.40+dfsg-1+deb8u5               amd64        OpenLDAP 
server (slapd)

[root@host ~]# cat /etc/*version
8.11


https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/o/openldap/openldap_2.4.40+dfsg-1+deb8u5_changelog
-> 404.

Basically I have seen, that in the file /etc/default/slapd

there is (and was before the update) this entry:

# If SLAPD_SENTINEL_FILE is set to path to a file and that file exists,
# the init script will not start or restart slapd (but stop will still
# work).  Use this for temporarily disabling startup of slapd (when doing
# maintenance, for example, or through a configuration management system)
# when you don't want to edit a configuration file.
SLAPD_SENTINEL_FILE=/etc/ldap/noslapd

so on service restart, it failed until i commented this out.

Interesting:

root@host ~]# ll /etc/ldap/noslapd
ls: cannot access /etc/ldap/noslapd: No such file or directory

So the sentence "If SLAPD_SENTINEL_FILE is set to path to a file and 
that file exists" seems to be wrong.

on another, similar, but more actual host

[ ok ] Stopping slapd (via systemctl): slapd.service.
[ ok ] Starting slapd (via systemctl): slapd.service.
[root@host2 bin]# dpkg -l | grep slapd
ii  slapd 2.4.44+dfsg-5+deb9u2           amd64        OpenLDAP server 
(slapd)
[root@host2 bin]# cat /etc/*version
9.9
[root@host2 bin]# cat /etc/default/slapd
[..]
# If SLAPD_SENTINEL_FILE is set to path to a file and that file exists,
# the init script will not start or restart slapd (but stop will still
# work).  Use this for temporarily disabling startup of slapd (when doing
# maintenance, for example, or through a configuration management system)
# when you don't want to edit a configuration file.
SLAPD_SENTINEL_FILE=/etc/ldap/noslapd
[..]

Any clues about that? Thank you.

Best regards

Spacerat

Try 'apt changelog slapd'.

Kind regards,

Thanks for your answer Andrei

This seems also broken

[root@host~]# apt changelog slapd

Jessie, eh?

root@meglin2:~# apt-cache policy slapd
slapd:
  Installed: (none)

E: Invalid operation changelog

Don't know quite what to tell you.  If you can't install the pacakge,
verify that you're using a sane sources.list for jessie.  I don't know
why your "apt" has a changelog subcommand.  Did you mix releases?

Turns out, it's in "apt-get" in jessie, not in "apt" or "apt-cache".

root@meglin2:~# apt-cache changelog slapd
E: Invalid operation changelog
root@meglin2:~# apt-get changelog slapd

... and not working here either.  Oh well.  Maybe that's one of the things
that LTS doesn't bother with?
