The impacted man pages contain the following (example) .ft setting in the "EXAMPLES" section:
.ft tt /opt/symas/bin/slapadd -l ldif .ft
"tt" refers to the mono-spaced font "teletype" which is no longer recognized by groff/troff and modern web browsers.
Nonsense. There is no relation between roff language and HTML or web browsers.
The affected man pages include: ./man8/slapadd.8, ./man8/slapcat.8, ./man8/slapacl.8, ./man8/slaptest.8, ./man8/slapdn.8, ./man8/slapindex.8, ./man8/slapmodify.8, ./man8/slapd.8, ./man8/slapschema.8, ./man8/slapauth.8 and ./man5/ldif.5
The current verbiage should be replaced by:
.EX /opt/symas/bin/slapadd -l ldif .EE
There are no such macros in my local copy of man macros, which is on a fairly recent (Ubuntu 18) distro.
Please refer to man 7 groff_man for an explanation of these settings. The replacement syntax has been tested and works as expected.
Tested on what platforms? MacOS? BSD? Solaris? What OS revision?
