Hi, 2.3.39-r1 does not compile/install (haven't investigated in deep) slapd's overlay syncprov. This module/overlay is stable and is used for repliction / synchronization. Without this module (if syncrepl is configured) slapd fails to start! Downgrading to 2.3.39 (without -r1) resolved this issue for me. Both libs are available again: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 38700 Nov 10 00:08 syncprov-2.3.so.0.2.27 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 925 Nov 10 00:08 syncprov.la I've diffed 2.3.39 and 2.3.39-r1 ebuilds and I've seen that "--enable-syncprov" has been introduced in -r1, perhaps it should be changed to "--enable-syncprov=mod" instead? (just a guess, haven't tested it myself) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge 2.3.39-r1 --> syncprov.so is missing 2. emerge 2.3.39 --> syncprov.so exists.

We added that on purpose as with new-style config system (using slapd.d which is a database) you can't load any module until you start up. So if you want to sync your config bits, you can't do it if the syncprov isn't compiled in. This will become the recommended default for 2.4 onwards and to ease the migration, we enabled that now, as some people already use it and noticed this small "issue".

Ahhh I see. :-) So I rebuild 2.3.39-r1, removed "moduleload syncprov.so" from slapd's configuration and slapd started as usually. Many thanks for your explainations! Nevertheless I would suggest to add a message like this to the next openldap-stable-ebuild: "In contrast to previous openldap ebuild's from now on the syncprov overlay is compiled statically into slapd. In case you have been using the modular syncprov overlay in the past, please remove/comment-out the statement "moduleload syncprov.so" from your slapd's configuration (slapd.conf and/or slapd.d), otherwise slapd service will fail to start up properly. Your syncrepl-configuration statements should not effected at all." > This will become the recommended default for 2.4 onwards and to ease the > migration, we enabled that now, as some people already use it and noticed this > small "issue". Yes, 2.4 rocks! E.g. N-way-Multimaster replication... :-)
