Public bug reported: When documenting the installation of slapd on Lucid, I often need to go back to a clean default install. I do this by: apt-get -y purge slapd && apt-get install slapd
It seems that purging does not remove /var/lib/ldap, so after re- installation old database stuff is hanging around. Hence, you receive all kinds of 'duplicate' warnings when trying to add things to an alleged 'clean' install. Expected behavior: 'apt-get purge slapd' purges everything, including /var/lib/ldap. FYI, this is the only ldap related package I had installed, so /var/lib/ldap is not used by other packages. ** Affects: openldap (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: When documenting the installation of slapd on Lucid, I often need to go back to a clean default install.
