i updatet our 2.4.0p20.cre checkmk installation from bookworm to trixie , and afterwards got this error on start:

i could fix this by manually downloading and installing libldap-2.5-0_2.5.13+dfsg-5_amd64.deb from debian bookworm repo

is this a known problem ?

Is also your CMK package updated to the trixie version?

ouch - i missed that checkmk package was also debian version agnostic, i just read before update that 2.4.0p20.cre would be already trixie compatible, so i did miss that step to replace the checkmk debian bookworm package with the trixie package.

i installed the trixie version over the bookworm version, removed ldap package again and now all is looks fine

thanks for the pointer
