A bunch of completely different terms are being tossed around. You
reported that the problem was slapd crashing, due to what you suspected
is database corruption. In that case, uninstalling libnss-ldap doesn't
make any sense. If the LDAP server is working, you should be asking why
libnss-ldap can't contact it. Since the LDAP server isn't working, you
should fix it, not remove the client side.
