5.3
The installer returns the following error:

Resolution
The issue has been fixed in eDirectory 8.8.5 or later.
As a workaround for eDirectory 8.8.3 the installer script needs to be modified by replacing line 3927:
if ! rpm -Uvh --nodeps"$FORCE_NICI" $1 >> $log_file 2>&1
with
if ! rpm -Uvh --nodeps $1>> $log_file 2>&1
This should make the installation possible.
