Package: libnss-ldap Version: 251-7.4 Severity: normal
Hello, in special situations, libnss-ldap can break the installation of other packages. I am installing Debian Etch systems with FAI (Fully Automatic Install). At the beginning of the installation, nsswitch.conf is set to use ldap for groups and users. Then libnss-ldap and other packages (like openssh-client) are installed, which try to add local groups or users (for example ssh group in openssh-client post-install). If libnss-ldap and openssh-client are both installed in one run, and openssh-client is configured before libnss-ldap, the addgroup in openssh-client post-install stops with the following error: ldap-nss.c:1368 do_init: Assertion `cfg->ldc_uris[__session.ls_current_uri] != ((void *)0)' failed. /var/lib/dpkg/info/openssh-client.postinst: line 86: 4093 Aborted addgroup --system --quiet ssh dpkg: error processing openssh-client (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 134 The solution for my special problem is, not to set nsswitch.conf to use ldap before the proper installation of libnss-ldap. However the package in Sarge does not have this bug with the failing assertion. Furthermore it should be checked, if this bug can be hit while doing a dist-upgrade.
