Well, in those ldap-account-manager.* files I have instead
#/bin/sh -e
the lines:
#!/bin/bash set -e
so if I replace all occurance of the 'set -e' with the '#set -e', save
those files and run
sudo apt-get --purge remove ldap-account-manager
I can finally purge the ldap-account-manager debian package.
But, now I can't to install it again!
sudo apt-get install ldap-account-manager
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done

Need to get 0 B/11.8 MB of archives.
