Hi,

as Steffen just noticed there is an chicken and egg problem when upgrading the 
Kolab packages (no isuse if installing from scratch)

The new kolab2.schema depends on rfc2739.schema which was not included 
in slapd.conf before, so slapd refuses to start, but you need a running 
slapd to be able to generate a working conf.

Do this

/kolab/bin/openpkg rc all stop

edit /kolab/etc/openldap/slapd.conf and add this:

include /kolab/etc/openldap/schema/rfc2739.schema

just before this line

include /kolab/etc/openldap/schema/kolab2.schema

and then do

/kolab/bin/openpkg rc all start

(now run /kolab/sbin/kolabconf to check if ldap works again)

Alternatively, you can of course bootstrap all over like with a new install.
