2010-12-27 10:43:23 dnmvisser description When documenting the installation of slapd on Lucid, I often need to go back to a clean default install. I do this by: apt-get -y purge slapd && apt-get install slapd It seems that purging does not remove /var/lib/ldap, so after re-installation old database stuff is hanging around. Hence, you receive all kinds of 'duplicate' warning when trying to add thing to an alleged 'clean' install.

Hence, you receive all kinds of 'duplicate' warnings when trying to add things to an alleged 'clean' install. Expected behavior: 'apt-get purge slapd' purges everything, including /var/lib/ldap. FYI, this is the only ldap related package I had installed, so /var/lib/ldap is not used by other packages.
