Package: nscd
Version: 2.5-5
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear nscd maintainers,

the problem is stated above - Comments were introduced with a leading
tab before the hash sign which cause errors like this when nscd reads
the file:
 /usr/sbin/nscd: Syntax error: Unknown option: hosts caching

The solution is to remove the tabs before the hash signs, or fix nscd
to skip whitespace when looking for them...

Best regards,
Bernd
