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.
