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:

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

This is an error from dpkg, not from openldap.

You may ask the ubuntu developers.
