Bug#175710: python-ldap modlist patch

[Domenico Andreoli]

hi Michael,

the patch you are referring to is already in the python-ldap version i'm
using and the problem is right in the "modlist.append((ldap.MOD_DELETE,attrtype,None))".
the error i get is from deletion of an inexistent entry.

i attached an example to reproduce the bug.

cheers
