 OpenLDAP Faq-O-Matic : OpenLDAP Software FAQ : Common Errors :
 ldap_*: Internal (implementation specific) error (80) - additional info: entry index delete failed |
This seems to be related with wrong ownership of the BDB's dir (/var/lib/ldap) and files.
chmod -r openldap:openldap /var/lib/ldap fixes it in Debian Etch.
I don't really know how the wrong permission went into place, but I suspect it has something to do with slapd's starting, no database existing (I had deleted it to get a new, fresh one), and slapd creating one before chroot.

After a bug report, some insightfull feedback, and some amount of testing, i found out that the 'wrong ownership of new files' problem is not with slapd but with slapadd. This happens when one initially populates the Directory.

Oh, and the right switch of chown is '-R', not '-r'.
|
My God! What a mess!
The right command to correct this problem is:
chown -R /var/lib/ldap
|
This can be caused by the creation of a new database that uses the same olcDbDirectory as an existing database (so the first, existing database apparently gets overwritten when OpenLDAP adds the new one).
