Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ldapscripts
steps to reproduce:
- install slapd
- install and configure ldapscripts
- execute _ldapinit
detailed info:
when you install slapd debconf creates two objects, root organization
and admin user:
dn: dc=nodomain
objectClass: top
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: nodomain
dc: nodomain
dn: cn=admin,dc=nodomain
objectClass: simpleSecurityObject
objectClass: organizationalRole
cn: admin
description: LDAP administrator
_ldapinit is intented to initially populate ldap with basic entries but it
fails with default slapd configuration:
# _ldapinit
Error initializing LDAP tree
tail /var/log/ldapscripts.log
>> 07/18/07 - 15:02 : Command : /usr/bin/_ldapinit
ldap_add: Already exists (68)
Error initializing LDAP tree
to avoid this error there's two options:
1- stop the slapd server, remove the BDB files on /var/lib/ldap/*, start
slapd again, execute _ldapinit
2- modify _ldapinit to avoid conflicts with pre-populated slapd
i think second approach is better and i recommend a new file
(_ldapinit.debian). this is a diff against _ldapinit and
_ldapinit.debian (a copy of the first) that solves the problem:
diff -u _ldapinit _ldapinit.debian
--- _ldapinit 2007-07-18 14:59:28.000000000 +0200
+++ _ldapinit.debian 2007-07-18 15:04:32.000000000 +0200

as you can see, is enough with removing the root object to avoid errors.
instead of creating a file called _ldapinit.debian we could rename the
original to something like _ldapinit.flat and keep modified one as
_ldapinit
