Public bug reported:
I recently upgraded from 20.04 to 22.04 and as a part of the upgrade,
the dpkg configuration for nss-pam-ldapd prompted to configure ldap in
nsswitch.conf. I selected "passwd" only, which is correct for my use
case.
Upon rebooting, I discovered that dpkg had modified my nsswitch.conf
file in an unexpected way, which broke login authorities until I was
able to log in with a backup admin account. The module which broke is a
custom NSS module which I'll refer to here as "mineldap". This is not
the exact name, but my module does end with "...ldap".
Before updating, my nsswitch file:
passwd: files mineldap ldap systemd
group: files mineldap systemd
After the reconfiguration.
Note the packaging tool incorrectly deletes "ldap " from the "group:" entry,
creating an invalid entry:
passwd: files mineldap ldap systemd
group: files minesystemd
