389ds wants libtool 2.2.6b which is in SLOT 1.5.
You have 2.2.10 which is SLOT 2.
So they can install side-by-side without colliding.

You'd have to ensure 389ds uses the correct libtool and that other packages 
don't get confused. I have no idea how to do that - every time I look into 
libtool I come away thinking it's an unholy mess that should never have been 
suffered to spawn. This directly results in my skills with it remaining at 
zero.
