Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html

In the steps for adding schema - we do not recommend editing or
referencing the slapd.d ldif files. These are after all internal files
of a slapd backend, they are not standalone LDIF files. Their format is
subject to change without notice. Instead, you should be using slapcat
to dump the contents of the config database, same as for dumping any
other database.

Your example should instead say, after step 3

Use slapcat to retrieve the converted schema file.

slapcat -F /tmp/ldif_output -n0 -s "cn={8}misc,cn=schema,cn=config" >
/tmp/cn=misc.ldif

Then your step 4 and 5 should be operating on this LDIF file.

In fact, I would change all references to "/tmp/ldif_output" to
"/tmp/schema.d" just to remove any suggestion that there's usable LDIF
in that location.
