[Bug 1304069] Re: package slapd 2.4.31-1+nmu2ubuntu8 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Hi Ryan,

Sorry I missed your email.

Things were blocking and I really had to move forward.
I therefore opted for an fresh install.
Everything went well, obviously.

But this means that we'll probably never know the origin of the problem 
I encountered.

You spent some of your time providing me help and trying to figure out 
what happened and I am very grateful to you: many thanks!

Best regards,

Rod
