Bug 1052436

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #964924 +++

I just got hit by this bug when upgrading from 13.2 to Leap 42.3 on my server, rendering it unusable.

Previous information:
=============================================

I've been running an authentication server in my home network for half a year now, without problems. After a zypper dup on 2016-02-02, clients could no longer authenticate their users (both other computers on the net and the server itself).

Below I've quoted slapd-related error messages from the system journal during the update.

Stopped slapd and re-ran the Yast2 Authentication server module, opted for clean re-install (without reading current configuration). Selected starting of LDAP and Kerberos. Default hdb backend. On clicking "Finish", there is an error message 

    56b1f578 <= str2entry: str2ad(olcDbCheckpoint): attribute type undefined
    slapadd: could not parse entry (line=920)

Searched for a schema file containing the database-specific attributes (a web search hinted at a confighdb.ldif file, which appears not to be present on my system.

I'd be happy to run tests or provide further data, and of course I would also welcome a workaround.
