Solved it ... back_hdb is being loaded by cn=module{0}.ldif: dn: cn=module{0} objectClass: olcModuleList cn: module{0} olcModulePath: /usr/lib/ldap olcModuleLoad: {0}back_hdb olcModulePath, if defined, is referenced INSTEAD OF any environment variables like PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH. /usr/lib/ldap is the Ubuntu path. The new location is /usr/local/libexec/ldap. Since I can't edit the ldif file, I put in a symbolic link.
