[Bug 428813] [NEW] package slapd 2.4.15-1ubuntu3 failed to install : subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Harry Sufehmi]

Public bug reported:

I got slapd installed with suffix "dc=example, dc=com", which was not
what we needed.

I tried to rectify this by "dpkg-reconfigure slapd", and entered the correct suffix now on the 
DNS doman name" prompt.
However, the suffix remained the same, as if I didn't change anything, much to my confusion

So I erased /var/lib/slapd/* and /etc/ldap/* and
/var/cache/apt/archives/*, then typed : /sudo apt-get install slapd

Much to my surprise, it failed with the following error message :

Unpacking slapd (from .../slapd_2.4.15-1ubuntu3_i386.deb) ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Setting up slapd (2.4.15-1ubuntu3) ...
  Creating initial slapd configuration... done.
  Creating initial LDAP directory... failed.

Loading the initial directory structure from the ldif file (/tmp/slapd_init_dir.ldif.WHvJGmsMau) failed with the following
error while running slapadd:
    slapadd: slap_init invalid suffix ("dc=myldapserver,dc=web,dc=id")
