Yes, because in that case there is no libldap50.so; the OpenLDAP
library is called something like libldap{,_r}-2.4.so.2 (these are the
names on my system; I guess the _r version is the
thread-safe/reentrant one).

Users loose the feature to use a newer PostgreSQL-SDBC with an older
LibreOffice. But Fridrich and you agree it fixes all our issues, so
OK, I consent to it. I'm happy to let you and/or Fridrich do the
change.
