Hi,

When i want to install OpenLDAP i began with install the deamon and utils with the command

sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils

I got an error. This is the output:

Preconfiguring packages ...

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I am a newbie to Linux and OpenLAP. I don’t know what this output means, so i can’t solve the problem (for now).

Please can anyone help me?

With regards, William
