I would like to ask if there is any update on this bug.
We ran into this while troubleshooting a connection error during ldapsearch
(from ldap-utils).
Essentially, any connection over LDAPS will fail with an unspecific error
message if libldap-common is not installed.
Maybe at least ldap-utils should depend on libldap-common?
As always, I have to point out that Recommends are meant to be installed
unless you know that you truly don't need them; and that libldap does
work without libldap-common, as long as you configure the CA cert
setting yourself.
Anyway, in trixie and later this should be a non-issue. libldap now uses
the system CA certs by default, so the configuration that used to be
shipped in libldap-common is no longer needed.
