$ echo s[l]urpd
s[l]urpd
$ touch slurpd
$ echo s[l]urpd
slurpd

Maybe you have a file or directory named 'slurpd' in the same
directory where you run kolab_bootstrap?
Anyway, I'll add some quoting now to circumvent this problem in the
future.

This is a problem specific to OpenSUSE, so I can't help here.

The OpenPKG packages might be an alternative for you.
