RE: Can't delete entry (renewed)

["Howard Chu" <hyc@highlandsun.com>]

It's not clear why you're seeing this problem, but this should get you past
it:
  stop slapd
  delete dn2id index file
  run slapindex to regenerate index files
  restart slapd

A debug log from slapd (-d4 at least) leading up to the problem may be
helpful.
