The operation failed but no output was produced. For hints on what went
wrong please refer to the system's logfiles (e.g. /var/log/syslog) or
try running the daemon in Debug mode like via "slapd -d 16383" (warning:
this will create copious output).

Below, you can find the command line options used by this script to

Thanks for your report.

The relevant error is
---

Could you please attach the file /var/log/syslog to this report ?

I noticed the following line in dmesg maybe that's related
[ 433.364486] type=1505 audit(1272367591.379:19): operation="profile_replace" pid=3714 name="/usr/sbin/slapd"

[Nathan Stratton Treadway (nathanst)]

If your syslog file includes a line that looks similar to
  slapd[7087]: config error processing olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config: ordered_value_sort failed on attr olcAccess#012

, then it would also be helpful to attach a copy of the
  /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config/olcDatabase={0}config.ldif
file here.

[Nathan Stratton Treadway (nathanst)]

Or, if the syslog line instead mentions "olcDatabase={-1}frontend", the related file would be /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config/olcDatabase={-1}frontend.ldif .

[Nathan Stratton Treadway (nathanst)]

(Assuming the /var/log/syslog does include a line saying:
  config error processing olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config: ordered_value_sort failed on attr olcAccess#012
, then this bug is probably a duplicate of LP: #571057.
