Subject: LDBM and 2.2.x

Hello,

fwiw, I have 2.2.23 with ldbm backend running w/o a hitch on OpenBSD,
but breaking down completely on Debian "almost" sarge.

Esp. I can browse the directory and find whatever I want, but don't see
these same records when I use "search" (with gq or ldapsearch, that
is).

Also, looking at http://www.openldap.org/software/release/changes.html
suggests that a number of important bugs have been killed between
2.2.23 and now, although that might be too late for sarge.

Btw, aren't there any regression test suites to run before promoting
such packages, and/or can we probably move to having the debian/* stuff
in a publicly accessible CVS or something (I prefer ARCH), to be able
to recreate older packages at any date (analogous to the BSD ports
system)?

Thanks for listening!

Best,
--Toni++
