unable to locate the packages slapd and slapd-utils

Question

when trying to install slapd and slapd-utils, I receive an error message:

unable to locate the packages .

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and I ran the update and upgrade but no luck.

How I can installs those packages?

Answer 1

1. First you need to do is, update the cache: apt-get update

2. Search the package name: apt-cache search slapd

3. Install the package based on the output you see in step 2. apt-get install <pakcage_name>

However if it still not visible there must be something that need to be fix in APT.

Answer 2

The package name for the OpenLDAP server is slapd and not lapd

sudo apt-get install slapd

and the name of the OpenLDAP utilities package is ldap-utils and not slapd-utils

sudo apt-get install ldap-utils
