--- Comment #8 from Howard Chu <[email protected]> ---
Really I think the first problem is with the slapacl(8) manpage.

The offending text came from this commit
592c4ad2b0cf0a1f4909c06aebb31624a6d7d989

+.TP

+In this case, if the entry does not exist, a fake entry with the DN

The first sentence is most relevant: the entry is not fetched from the DB.

The "if the entry does not exist" clause does not belong; a fake entry is
used regardless, since we don't even access the DB and therefore have no idea
whether the entry exists or not.
