  I wish I could. I can't. I installed slapd very recently, maybe a
  week ago. Now I can't even get rid it, to start with a clean sheet.

| root at wotan:~# aptitude purge slapd
| The following packages will be REMOVED:
|   slapd{p}
| 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
| Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 4,162 kB will be freed.

| AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'InitSystem'
  
  This error appear on all my aptitude calls on that server.

  The version is 2.4.25-1+b1, as seen here

  I tried manually removing the mkdir instruction from /var/lib/dpkg/info/slapd*
  but that does not help either. 

  I would be happy to give anybody access to the machine to 
  figure out what is wrong, just send me your public key. 

  Cheers,
