Yeah I asked for it and have got it.:) But now I observe something very
interesting. All seems to be working fine except slapcat.

Any idea how I may revert to the old setup.
Tried kolab_bootstrap -b but the root DSE error remains as is.
I removed kolab, kolab-webclient and openldap2 and reinstalled the same
but yet no luck. The error remains.
I was under the impression that kolab on os 11.1 had been ported to
support the openldap 2.4

Any advice?

openldap2-client-2.4.12-5.3
openldap2-2.4.12-5.4
