rebuilding isn't that big a deal - you'll want to do it on another machine though if you're wary of installing build dependencies. sudo apt-get build-dep slapd (or using some other root-gaining command) apt-get source slapd cd openldap-* edit debian/rules to remove configure --with-iodbc line or whatever openldap needs to stop using odbc dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc (assuming you have fakeroot installed) new package is in ../ -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
