Have a look at this issue:

Hopefully it has enough pointers for you to get going.
I think that you should remove the openldap pkg annd
also remove the directories:
/etc/openldap and /var/lib/ldap.
Now re-install the openldap package and run kolab_bootstrap.
Of course this results in loss of data.....
