Not from the RPM provided for 10.0, maybe you did something unsupported, 
such as installing the binary for 10.1/cooker on 10.0.

On 10.0, we have db-4.1, no db-4.2 (since it was too late to fix all 
db-4.2 apps for db-4.1), so openldap is compiled against an internal 
copy of db-4.2, which soname of libslapd_db-4.2, and all the utils being 
 slapd_db_* instead of db_* (and all scripts taking this into account).

Start with the original package provided for Mandrake 10.0 ('urpmi 
openldap-servers openldap-migration'), if you need a later version, 
rebuild the SRPM from cooker on 10.0 (that works, and I will take bug 
reports if it does not work), never install binaries from one release on 
another release (unless you are absolutely sure there have been no 
change and no rebuilds in between).

If you're looking for openldap-2.2, bug me some more to upload a package 
to contrib, or rebuild db4.2 from cooker.

Buchan
