Description
I get a post-installation error upgrading rudder-server-root 2.6 -> 2.7:
INFO: Checking LDAP service status............LDAP service verification failed after 10 tries. Aborting the migration.
Please restart the Rudder service, and start the migration script again:
# /etc/init.d/rudder-server-root restart
# /opt/rudder/bin/rudder-upgrade
dpkg: error processing rudder-webapp (--configure):

I tried the provided suggestion, and it looks like that works:

My mistake. Restarting worked. The rudder-upgrade script keeps failing on LDAP:
# /opt/rudder/bin/rudder-upgrade
INFO: Checking LDAP service status............LDAP service verification failed after 10 tries. Aborting the migration.
Please restart the Rudder service, and start the migration script again:
# /etc/init.d/rudder-server-root restart
# /opt/rudder/bin/rudder-upgrade
The problem was with /opt/rudder/etc/rudder-web.properties. The installation asked me if I would overwrite the file. Since I don't know if other changed are made, I choosed to overwrite it, after I made a backup in /root. Changed back the passwords and everything now works fine.
Ok, so the problem is that if the rudder-web.properties are replaced during upgrade of rudder-web package, the rudder-upgrade does not work ?
I suppose so, since the default rudder-web.properties does not contain the good the credentials.
The installer will give you 3 choices:
- Ignore the package maintainer's version and keep your old one
- Overwrite your old one with the package maintainer's version
- Compare the changes from your old one with the package maintainer's version
I always choose to overwrite after backing up the old one first.

I think we should fix our upgrade scripts to ensure that passwords from rudder-passwords.conf are updated in rudder-webapp.properties before attempting any other checks. This can be annoying for upgrades.
Matthieu, please implement.
I think we should also fetch the define syslog port, or else all reporting may fail ?
It would be awesome to have a clear warning before the question, that says that Rudder handle the upgrade of this file, and that one should only choose to overwrite if wanting to restore defaults values for all parameters

This PR looks good, but I consider the change to be too intrusive for 2.7. Let's include it in 2.8.
