Package: libnss-ldapd Version: 0.9.4-3+deb8u1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
libnss-ldapd does not appear to respect the content of debconf when asking its question of which items to configure in nsswitch.conf. When you perform a dpkg-reconfigure on libnss-ldapd, it will show you the list of databases as configured in nsswitch.conf, not as recorded in debconf. It does record the answer into debconf. As an example, let's assume that I originally installed the package and selected the passwd and group databases to look up using ldap. This adjusts nsswitch.conf and records in debconf that I'd selected passwd and group. Next, I change that answer (using debconf-set-selections) to only choose passwd. Run dpkg-reconfigure and it again shows both passwd and group, since that is what nsswitch.conf is currently configured with. I was expecting this to show me just passwd as that is what is stored in debconf. This bug prevents me from being able to change the answer in debconf and then cause the package to apply that configuration via running: "dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive libnss-ldapd". I would presume that this would also prevent me from pre-answering the question before installing the package too. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libnss-ldapd depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.56 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u4 ii multiarch-support 2.19-18+deb8u4 ii nslcd [nslcd-2] 0.9.4-3+deb8u1 libnss-ldapd recommends no packages. libnss-ldapd suggests no packages. -- debconf information: libnss-ldapd/clean_nsswitch: false * libnss-ldapd/nsswitch: group, passwd
