[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#378235: slapd: slapadd gives completely useless error messages

[Peter Eisentraut]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.3.24-1
Severity: normal

Behold:

# slapadd
slapadd: bad configuration file!

I haven't yet figured out a way for it to tell me what's bad about it.
Neither -v nor -d seem to help.  I've tried strace but that's crazy.
This is totally unusable.
