slapadd : could not parse entry (line=56)

[walter@kempel.ch]

Hello,

A short while ago I reported a problem with an index on telephonenumber with the
subject:Problem finding telephonenumber in a plain numeric search when number is stored with special characters
hacking the code in schema_init.c adding some more characters besides a blank and the - solved the problem (on a test server).

Now that we tested a migration of the productive data importing the output from slapcat using slapadd we ran into the following
problem ( which is NOT because of the hack. I tried the same with the original code)
./slapadd  -v -l /root/full-dump.ldif
added: "dc=bs,dc=ch" (00000001)
added: "dc=zid,dc=bs,dc=ch" (00000002)
added: "ou=SpecialUsers,dc=bs,dc=ch" (00000003)
slapadd: could not parse entry (line=56)

The same output using the -d1 parameter:
...
...
<= index_entry_add( 3, "ou=SpecialUsers,dc=bs,dc=ch" ) success
added: "ou=SpecialUsers,dc=bs,dc=ch" (00000003)

Apparently the German Umlaut "ä" creates a problem for slapadd.

I tried slapadd'ing the ldif file on a couple of servers. On one development box I succeeded on 4 others I always got the same error.
I compared environment and libraries and made adaption wherever I found a difference, but so far did not succeed.
I hope somebody can give me an idea about what I am doing wrong!

Thanks for any help!

Walter Kempel
