Right, but openldap 2.4.31 was linked against db5.1 and openldap 2.4.39
is linked against db5.3; and the database files each version creates in
/var/lib/ldap are not compatible.

That's the expected output, thanks.

This is certainly interesting. The scripts take into account the
possibility of /var/lib/ldap being a mountpoint, but maybe not a
symlink. I'll do some testing in a similar setup and get back to you.

Thanks for your patience and testing as we work this out.
