Description Andrei Slavoiu 2006-05-27 04:25:12 UTC

Reproduce steps:
1. Install / upgrade to openldap-2.3.21-r1
2. Try to reemerge openldap (in my case part of emerge -e system)

Expected result:
Being the same version there is no special upgrade procedure required.

Actual result:
emerge dies with:

 *
 * A (possible old) installation of OpenLDAP was detected,
 * installation will not proceed for now.
 *
 * As major version upgrades can corrupt your database,
 * you need to dump your database and re-create it afterwards.

This is because /var/lib/openldap-data/.version-tag stores the version including the revision, so the ebuild will only find "-r1" as the installed version.
Manualy changing .version-tag to say OLDPF='openldap-2.3.21' fixed it.
