[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#474021: ldap-utils: ldapsearch should send errors to stderr

[Chris Adams]

Package: ldap-utils
Version: 2.3.30-5
Severity: minor


ldapsearch sends error messages in its data stream:

Search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 775
# numEntries: 774

It would be nice if something went to stderr in case stdout has been
redirected so an abnormal result was obvious.
