+- bsc#1175568 CVE-2020-8027
+  openldap_update_modules_path.sh has a number of issues in it's
+  design that lead to security issues. This file has been removed,
+  from the package, and the %post execution of the install. The
+  function is replaced by /usr/sbin/slapd-ldif-update-crc and
+  /usr/lib/openldap/fixup-modulepath, through the addition of the
+  source files:
+  * fixup-modulepath.sh
+  * slapd-ldif-update-crc.sh
+  * update-crc.sh
