I think a refile should be done, because (at least to my knowledge) the
usage of "[+-]login" as NIS notation is widespread.
Pleas note that this also happens when there are netgroup entries and

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.1
dpkg-buildpackage fails to build packages with binary data files in the source
tree because dpkg-source bails out when doing the diffs. This prevents the
build of the kbd package.

My bug-report was inaccurate:
It happens when passwd encounters a "+kubla" entry (without colons).
Then it will insert something like:

Package: ncftp
Version: 2.3.0-6
This package has neither manual nor info pages. It also does install the
copyright file as /usr/doc/ncftp/copyright instead of /usr/doc/copyright/ncftp.
Package: passwd
Version: 1.0-5
When encountering NIS overide entries (like "+kubla::") while changing
a local password, the programm will fill the empty fields with the string
"(null)".

This happens with the kbd package which has a file with a Unicode-encoded
name for demonstration purposes.

Try debug a dynamically linked binary using gdb and you will see lots of

at run-time. The reaseon for the redirection through /etc is the support
of read-only media (CD-ROM or NFS-shares).

Could you please check the version 1.2.14-1 if it occurs as well? (I am not
using gpm, so i can not check it.)
Thanks,

No, i mean "sysnews". For two reasons:
a) it is not sysv specific (you will find it on *bsd as well)
b) thats how the package used to be called before i renamed it to "news"
Later,
Dominik
The missing maps will be incorporated in the next release. Thanks for
providing the necessary information.
Dominik
Could you please check that this is still true in the latest release?
Thanks,
