This is the %pre section:
# in case upgrade, need to shutdown the servers before the installation
ls $RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX/slapd-* > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
  for instance in `ls -d $RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX/slapd-*`
  do
    if [ -f $instance/logs/pid ]; then
      pid=`cat $instance/logs/pid`
      psval=`ps -ef | egrep $pid`
      if [ "$psval" != "" ]; then
        $instance/stop-slapd
      fi
    fi
  done
fi
if [ -f $RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX/admin-serv/logs/pid ]; then
  pid=`cat $RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX/admin-serv/logs/pid`
  psval=`ps -ef | egrep $pid`
  if [ "$psval" != "" ]; then
    $RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX/stop-admin
  fi
fi

So, I'm not sure, perhaps your servers are not running, or they are 
reporting some error attempting to stop them.  If they are not running, 
and you don't wan't to or can't start them, try just removing the pid 
files referenced above.
