Environment

Novell eDirectory 8.7.3.10 for Linux

Situation

eDirectory 8.7.3.10b fails to NDSbase, NLDAPbase, and NLDAPskd

The reason for the failure is because Console One is installed on the server and it requires
NDSbase-8.7.3.7-38
NLDAPbase-8.7.3-34
NLDAPsdk-8.7.3-34

The eDirectory install script attempts to remove the packages but can not because of the ConsoleOne dependency.

Resolution

Remove those packages first and then attempt the eDirectory upgrade.
Follow these steps to remove the packages:

1. Stop eDirectory
       /etc/init.d/ndsd stop

2. Uninstall these rpms:
       rpm -e NDSbase-8.7.3.7-38
       rpm -e NLDAPbase-8.7.3-34
       rpm -e NLDAPsdk-8.7.3-34

3. Run the eDirectory 8.7.3.10b installer.
       ./install.sh

4. Start eDirectory
       /etc/init.d/ndsd start
