(Get the code!)
I think this proposed patch will not do anything to help people who've already upgraded from Lucid to Maverick, but who have just left the package half-configured because of this problem (since it won't trigger the upgrade if the $OLD_VERSION is "2.4.23-0ubuntu3", for example).
I guess that's unavoidable, since on a system in that situation the slapd.preinst wouldn't be able to run the database export, anyway (since the "slapcat" binary would also give the "Program version 4.8 don't match" error on such a system).
Still, I wonder if it makes sense to have the changelog say something like "If you previously upgraded from a Lucid version of slapd to 2.4.23-0ubuntuX and haven't already manually upgraded the slapd database version, you will need to follow the steps described in that bug." or whatever?
