This is probably the issue of a corrupt .lst.gz file.  Delete
/etc/setup/libopenldap2_3_0.lst.gz and everything should work fine.

Apparently setup will create one of these bogus .lst files if you choose
to abort it when it is in the middle of installing and prompts you to
close outstanding open handles on an in-use file.  Correcting this is
certainly on the top of the todo list for setup.
