As I recall, slapd frequently won't read the BDB data files from a
different minor version (eg 2.3 -> 2.4).  Basically you should dump your
LDAP directory using slapcat, move aside your old /var/db/openldap and
create a new one, upgrade slapd, use slapadd to reload your data, then
restart slapd.

As a matter of course when updating slapd, always use slapcat to grab a
copy of the directory before starting.  You can't always tell if the
update will require you to reload the data, so it's wise to always be
prepared.

	Cheers,
