Hi Alex,

slapi_attr_set_valueset() calls slapi_valueset_set_valueset(), but this does not free the existing values,
Here is the problem, I cannot free original values as
slapi_attr_get_valueset() returns a copy and I never can get access to
the original Slapi_ValueSet.
good point.

I only can get access to the original Slapi_Value** array which means I
could manipulate its content but that probably require resizing it and
thus changing a pointer vs->va, to which I don't have access anyway.
you should never do this, a valueset contains more data than va
How can we fix this?
the best thing would probably be to fix slapi_attr_set_valueset or adding a new api function which frees teh old valueset, but this would add a dependency to specific DS version
What about something like this:

void
slapi_valueset_set_valueset(Slapi_ValueSet *vs1, const Slapi_ValueSet
*vs2)
{
    if ((vs1 != NULL) && (vs1->num != 0)) {
        slapi_valueset_done(vs1);
    }
       slapi_valueset_init(vs1);
       valueset_set_valueset(vs1,vs2);
}

Another option is to fix slapi_attr_set_valueset():

int
slapi_attr_set_valueset(Slapi_Attr *a, const Slapi_ValueSet *vs)
{
    if (a->a_present_values->num != 0) {
        lapi_valueset_done(&a->a_present_values);
    }
       slapi_valueset_set_valueset( &a->a_present_values, vs);
   return 0;
}

Other uses of slapi_valueset_set_valueset() are operating on newly
created Slapi_ValueSet instances.
both will be ok (for me), but we have to commit it first and you depend on that version.

a more clumsy way would be to get the values and then use slapi_entry_attr_replace_sv() which would free the attr and recreate it
