If you're using back-config, yes. Since back-config isn't enforced by default, 
I don't think the install target will overwrite your configs in slapd.d 
(which may not exist, and even if it does, may not be in use) ... so you 
probably need to copy the new schema ldif files 
(ie /etc/openldap/schema/*.ldif or similar) over the corresponding schema 
files in slapd.d.

Well ... re-populating slapd.d from scratch would probably also fix it, but 
kind of defeats the point.
