      Description of problem:
      Attempts to compact a replication changelog with the dsconf CLI are not working.
      The changelog is not compacted.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      $ cat /etc/redhat-release
      Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.8 (Ootpa)
      $
      $ rpm -qa | grep 389-ds
      389-ds-base-1.4.3.34-1.module+el8dsrv+18528+22f7779f.x86_64
      389-ds-base-libs-1.4.3.34-1.module+el8dsrv+18528+22f7779f.x86_64
      $

      How reproducible:
      Always.

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Run the step #5 documented here:
      https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_directory_server/11/html/administration_guide/trimming_the_replication_changelog#manually_trimming_changelog

      $ date ; dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://localhost:1389 backend compact-db --only-changelog
      Thu Oct 19 11:16:57 CEST 2023
      Enter password for cn=Directory Manager on ldap://localhost:1389:
      Successfully started Database Compaction Task
      $

      Try without the option "--only-changelog":

      $ date ; dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://localhost:1389 backend compact-db
      Thu Oct 19 11:18:09 CEST 2023
      Enter password for cn=Directory Manager on ldap://localhost:1389:
      Successfully started Database Compaction Task
      $

      2. Check the errors log:

      There is no mention about replication changelogs:

      ==================================

      3. Try with the "COMPACT_CL5" task:

      $ date ; ldapmodify -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -H ldaps://localhost:1636
      Thu Oct 19 11:19:10 CEST 2023
      Enter LDAP Password:
      dn: cn=replica,cn=dc\3Dexample\2Cdc\3Dcom,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
      changetype: modify
      replace: nsds5task
      nsds5task: COMPACT_CL5

      modifying entry "cn=replica,cn=dc\3Dexample\2Cdc\3Dcom,cn=mapping tree,cn=config"

      $

      Now the replication changelogs are compacted:
