Package: libpam-modules
Version: 1.0.1-7
Severity: normal

libpam-modules ships with the pam_namespace module to automatically create and
mount per-user or per-context directories in a detached namespace.

This includes a script, /etc/security/namespace.init, that attempts to
populate an automatically created home directory with the content of
/etc/skel; this script depends on gawk but that dependency is not declared.

The problem is here:

    mode=$(awk '/^UMASK/{gsub("#.*$", "", $2); printf "%o", 
and(0777,compl(strtonum("0" $2))); exit}' /etc/login.defs)

mawk, which was installed on the machine where I was using this, reports these
errors by default:

awk: line 2: function and never defined
awk: line 2: function compl never defined
awk: line 2: function strtonum never defined

This is non-fatal — the PAM module works, installs the new directory and so
forth, but it is not ideal.

Installing gawk automatically corrected the problem, but this was not declared
or noted anywhere in the package.

Regards,
        Daniel
