Package: libpam-modules Version: 0.79-1 Severity: important hello,
obviously pam_env.so from libpam-modules 0.79-1 doesn't recognize /etc/environment. i use up-to-date debian/unstable and have the following /etc/environment: LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 LANG=C the locales exist, but when i login, `locale` gives 'POSIX' for _all_ locales, and `locale charmap` gives 'ANSI_X3.4-1968'. after investigating the situation, i found out that manually exporting the locales fixes that. after `export LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8` locale gives the correct LC_CTYPE, and even `locale charmap` gives `UTF-8`. that leads me to the assumption that there is a bug in pam 0.79-1 which prevents pam_env.so from loading /etc/environment at login. i don't know whether this a issue related to UTF-8, as i have no possibility to test this installation on a non-utf8 system, but i found at least two other debian users who discovered the same bug with pam 0.79-1 and UTF-8 locales. ... jonas -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-9-amd64 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages libpam-modules depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libdb3 3.2.9-22 Berkeley v3 Database Libraries [ru ii libpam0g 0.79-1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 1.26-1 SELinux shared libraries libpam-modules recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
