Is there a /etc/ldap/schema/core.ldif on your system?

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

I encountered the same error on karmic. Following this user guide:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1313472

The error appears after step 1: apt-get -y install slapd ldap-utils

The /etc/ldap/scheme directory is empty. To resolve, I copied the .ldif files from another machine. However, I have other errors at present which prevent me from completing the installation.

1)sudo apt-get purge slapd
2)sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils
3)PROFIT!!

As this bug was reported on Karmic (now EOL) and there has been no updates in over two years, I'm marking this now Invalid.
