[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#473047: RM: openldap2 -- RoM; obsoleted by openldap2.3

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

The openldap2 source package is obsoleted by openldap2.3.  The only binary
package provided by openldap2 is libldap2, superseded by libldap-2.4-2 from
openldap2.3; libldap2-dev has already been taken over by the openldap2.3
package.

The only remaining packages in unstable that depend on libldap2 have RC
build failures, or are out-of-date on archs that have buildd problems. 
Please go ahead with removing openldap2, which should not be released with
lenny.

The openldap2.3 package may eventually be renamed back to openldap2 (or to
openldap?), but this isn't practical anyway until all the reverse-deps of
libldap2 are resolved in testing.

Thanks,
