Hi Tony,

OS X keeps receipt files of the previous installation and checks the version 
number before installing a new one.

These receipts files can be removed with the following command:
> sudo rm -rf /var/db/receipts/org.apache.directory.server.*


We will try to provide a shell script in the next version automatically clean 
everything.

Regards,
Pierre-Arnaud
