In the openldap case, I checked again. My problem is obviously
triggered by the massive devel/icu updates I had to perform (there is
still no UPDATING entry reflecting this!).

Since last update of net/openldap24-server, a reinstallation of the
port changes(!) the ownership of the directory in which the database
of openldap server resides to root:wheel and it should be ldap:ldap or
be untouched!

after installation, I changed the ownership back to the ldap:ldap
value and the server started as expected again.

I checked the ownership several time and I was quite sure that the
ownership was correct but the OpenLDAP server won't start. After an
explicit setting of the ownership everything worked all right. I try
to reproduce this after I have gone through the devel/icu problem (a lot
of ports dropping out, unwilling to compile on CURRENT now). I try to
reproduce the weird observation or render/falsify my observation
nonsense (regarding the correct setting of ownership and the unwilling
openldap server).

Thanks for responding.
