Did you recreate this directory?
No. I think the above command removes the contents only, but leaves the
/var/lib/ldap in place? I checked the original installation and it seemed
to contain the same files.

So it does work with -f or doesn't? I'm not clear.
With -f it works.
If you modified the suffix in your new-ldap.diff, did you also modify the
suffix in your slapd.conf?
Yes I did. And with -f I was pointing the very same file. Weird!
I'm not at all familiar with ldap, so I may be overlooking something very
simple.
