Package: libpam0g Version: 1.1.3-2 Severity: normal Now that PAM itself is multiarch-aware, I'm looking at converting my PAM modules to also be multiarch, but there doesn't appear to be any documentation and the MiniHowto hasn't been updated.
Also, it looks like multiarch support was added to libpam0g's shared library (to look for modules in the appropriate directory), but there was no shlibs bump, which means that modules have to force a dependency on a new enough version manually. While this isn't exactly what the shlibs system is intended for (since the symbols in the shared library haven't really changed), I think bumping shlibs will probably produce better results for the archive as a whole once people start updating PAM modules. I'm converting libpam-afs-session as an experiment. Here's what I've done, for reference (and hopeful help in updating the documentation): * Follow the general multiarch instructions for shared libraries. I suspect some parts of this aren't actually necessary, such as the pre-dependency on multiarch-support, but it doesn't seem like it would hurt and I wasn't sure. * Install the module in /lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/security. * Add a Depends on libpam0g (>= 1.1.3-2~) to ensure that the PAM library knows to look for modules in that path. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-2-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libpam0g depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.40 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.13-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii multiarch-support 2.13-10 Transitional package to ensure mul libpam0g recommends no packages.
