Use of openldap 2.4.5beta solves the problem, but:
* need to recompile lots of stuff (libldap, openldap, courier-authlib, php, openldap-clients…) as the libldap and liblber library interface seems to have changed
* that's a beta version of openldap, he!

downgrading db to 4.5.X also works.

We'll come up with a db4.x package just like we did with Evolution-data-server. I think we'll choose the last 4.5.x version, as the on-disk table format should be the same as the one in 4.6 (4.6 mainly has a new memorymanager and a new lockmanager that is incompatible with openldap 2.3).

IMHO we should make choices for packages to depend on one specific version of DB. DB is one of the things that shouldn't always be the latest.

Here are two PKGBUILDS : for a new db4.5 package and an update for openldap which forces the use of db4.5
   PKGBUILD (1.1 KiB)
   PKGBUILD (2.3 KiB)
