The failure is still present -- no change in the output of the command:

All 3 DCs are Ubuntu 18.04.

I should also mention that replication still appears functional at some level. I set the uidNumber of an account and then verified that all 3 DCs had that information via ldapsearch. So something is broken, but I am not sure quite what or what the impact of it is (besides the failing commands).
