I do-ish
I think “old crap” should define it fast and good enough
It is
Yes-is. I can convert it into a VMWare Player host (i can access to ESX but seem not nice to borrow them because they’re not mine.
However, do things I already know might be a path maybe might solve the issue (slapd will start again?) but won’t find the root cause.
And because it’s my scapegoat (aka test installation) I could totally wipe the floor/hard drive down and start from scratch retaining only the hostname. I’m not currently into any kind of design/test new installations, so no point in doing that, complaining for the lack of support or… try to push someone around to have more help.
However, cockpit bothered me several times, on package management, with this “nice” error.
