Package: libnss-ldap Version: 251-7.5 Severity: normal
Setting up a new system, I copied its config over from an old system, before having installed the necessary packages. So nsswitch.conf had entries 'ldap files' for passwd etc. This was completely harmless in the absence of libnss-ldap (apart from not being able to look up those users) With that config, apt-get install libnss-ldap falls over: Selecting previously deselected package libnss-ldap. (Reading database ... 118867 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking libnss-ldap (from .../libnss-ldap_251-7.5_i386.deb) ...

(reportbug!)
