Details
The OpenLDAP package was split into libldap, openldap, and
openldap-clients per bug #3966 to avoid pulling in
dependencies on cyrus-sasl, heimdal, and others when you
wanted to install a package compiled with LDAP support.
There's not reason to do that any more now that cyrus-sasl
has been split and libsasl exists. In fact, the dependencies
for the openldap packages are:
db4 libldap tcp_wrappers and for openldap-clients are: libldap So there's really no reason to keep these packages separate anymore and cause all of this confusion. |
This task depends upon

Just a wild guess but the feature request you link to wasnt the
only reason for the split. As you can see
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/i686/libldap/
none of the packages depending on libldap requires an ldap server
to operate. As far as im conserned such splits, is one of the few
times they make sense.
Well, then at least merge openldap and openldap-clients. That is
honestly one of the most confusing splits I've had to deal with.
It took me a while to figure out why I couldn't ldapsearch when I
clearly had 'openldap' installed.
