Environment

eDirectory 8.8.8
eDirectory 8.8.7

Situation

Upgrading from eDirectory returns error "Unable to open eDirectory Configuration file"

Resolution

Check the nds.conf file for duplicate lines and remove the second instance of the line.  Then perform the upgrade again.
Example:
n4u.server.vardir=/var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data
n4u.server.vardir=/var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data
n4u.nds.server-name=server10
n4u.base.tree-name=DSF
n4u.nds.server-name=server10
n4u.base.tree-name=DSF

It is possible that only one or multiple configurations parameters are listed.
Do not remove what appears to be a duplicate like
n4u.server.interfaces=192.168.213.226@524
http.server.interfaces=192.168.213.226@8028
https.server.interfaces=192.168.213.226@8030
