You should definitely use a more recent release. 2.4.17 is the most recent release available on the download page. 2.4.18 is almost out now.
Ciao, Michael.

I've finally sorted this issue out : I was using "luma" to delete/modify/add object in my ldap : I don't know how it is possible but the issue only appears when deleting object with luma, I tried with "ldapdelete" on the command line and it worked perfectly...
Still I think you should upgrade. There were syncrepl-related issues with deletes fixed in more recent releases. 2.4.18 is out now.
BTW: luma uses python-ldap which in turn uses OpenLDAP's libldap(_r). So what's sent on the wire does not differ that much when deleting an entry. So I have some doubts about luma really being *the* cause of the problem.

I had occasional issues with all version up to 2.4.16 - we've has been excellent for me and we're still using in production. (I also note it's still listed on the openldap web site as the recommended stable release.) I suggest that using anything older than that with syncrepl is going to give you occasional problems.
