ldap_add: Already exists

[Spinoglio Luigi <Luigi.Spinoglio@TILAB.COM>]

Hello all,

that's what happened (it was not the first time):

It seems that some entries get locked by the DB for some index row
corrupted. I was trying  to insert a new entry but I got the error
message 'Already Present', but I could not delete it (even whit no
subentries under that), and nothing changed reindexing.
I'm using OpenLDAP 2.0.7 with a gdbm (GNU ldbm) backend on a RedHat
Linux 7.1.
Next U have the complete console messages.
Moreover using the slapcat -c i got the LDIF Representetion of my tree
AND the messages:
# no data for entry id=000002d7
# no data for entry id=000002d9
# no data for entry id=000000cf
# no data for entry id=000000be
What's the best practice to follow ?
I mean do I have the chance to simply delete the corrupted id on the db
? (NB reindexing does not work)

Thank U all in adv.
Luigi.
