RE: B/Q: ldapmodify: -c option

[Rick <Rick@BHERMAN.com>]

I've run into the same problems and took care of it as follows

dn: cn=person1,o=org1,c=de
changetype: modify
delete: description

dn: cn=person1,o=org1,c=de
changetype: modify
delete: description1

dn: cn=person1,o=org1,c=de
changetype: modify
delete: description2

[How] Can this be fixed to accomplish what was desired?
Would something like the following work?

dn: cn=person1,o=org1,c=de
changetype: modify
delete: description
changetype: modify
delete: description1
changetype: modify
delete: description2
