Error in `/usr/share/doc-base/libpam-doc.pam-applications-guide', line 17: all `Format' sections are invalid. Error in `/usr/share/doc-base/libpam-doc.pam-modules-guide', line 14: all `Format' sections are invalid. This is true; all of /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/html/Linux-PAM_SAG.html, /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/html/sag-*.html, /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/txt/Linux-PAM_SAG.txt.gz, /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/html/Linux-PAM_ADG.html, /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/html/adg*.html, /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/txt/Linux-PAM_ADG.txt.gz, /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/html/Linux-PAM_MWG.html, /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/html/mwg*.html, and /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/txt/Linux-PAM_MWG.txt.gz are listed in those doc-base files but are in fact missing. I don't know whether this is intentional (in which case the doc-base registrations should be removed to match), or an accidental build issue that should be fixed. -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.6.0-14-generic (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND, TAINT_OOT_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: unable to detect -- no debconf information -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@debian.org] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2064360 Title: libpam-doc: doc-base reports missing files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/2064360/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
