Modifying schemas

[Côme BERNIGAUD <come.bernigaud@opensides.be>]

Hello,

If I do

sudo ldapsearch -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:///  -b "cn=schema,cn=config" "cn=*" cn

I can see in the resulsting list:

# {18}applications-fd, schema, config
dn: cn={18}applications-fd,cn=schema,cn=config
cn: {18}applications-fd

But if I use an ldif trying to modify this I get:

modifying entry "cn={18}applications-fd,cn=schema,cn=config"
ldap_modify: No such object (32) 

I can see in /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config/cn=schema that the file is named cn={19}applications-fd.ldif so I tried with 19 instead of 18 in the ldif and I get:

modifying entry "cn={19}applications-fd,cn=schema,cn=config"
ldap_modify: No such object (32)
        matched DN: cn=schema,cn=config

Which seems worse. I’m wondering if there is not a numbering problem with schemas due to a previous dirty delete of a schema (stopping slapd, deleting the file and starting slapd), but it still is weird that slapd would list the schema but not find it for modification.
