I saw the same thing, but only on three out of four servers.  I don't
understand why one server worked.  I think the underlying issue is
that slapd is statically linked against the DB library, and the new
version is linked against a newer version than the old one.  I haven't
pried the SRPM apart to make sure.

I resolved by doing slapcat before upgrading, then cleaning out the
database and doing a slapadd.

The package was posted for testing well in advance of its release, but
unfortunately I never found the time to test it.

That's a scary operation to just run automatically.  Better would be
to ensure that DB version changes like this don't happen except during
distro version upgrades.
