[Labs-l] labs instance can't find LDAP server after upgrade

[Ryan Lane]

You shouldn't upgrade instances. You should always make a new instance and
transition stuff. This is why we emphasize puppetization. It's likely your
instance is permanently broken...

I'll try to add something to the instances warning people not to upgrade,
but there's likely nothing I can do about your current broken instance. I
may be able to log in as root to rescue any files you may need that are
local to the instance, though.
