For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4-2etch1. The old stable distribution (sarge) does not contain an ldapscripts package. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.7.1-2. We recommend that you upgrade your ldapscripts package.
