[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#582424: slapd: schemata missing

[georg kuehnberger]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.11-1+lenny1
Severity: important

I installed slapd 2.4.11-1+lenny1 and configured as ussual.
However slapd was not able to start due to missing schema files.
that is, the /schema directory was completely empty.

The Error was:
/etc/ldap/schema/core.schema does not exist, which means the slapd
configuration will not work.  If you have moved the schema files
elsewhere, you will need to modify /etc/ldap/slapd.conf accordingly.
If you deleted the schema files inadvertantly, you may need to
purge this package and then reinstall it to restore them (be
careful to back up your database first if necessary).

The Solution was 
to download the slapd Sources for version 2.4.11 and copy the schema files into /etc/ldap/schema/
