That was fixed in #515099. > program (libpam-modules, i guess, for complaining about a file missing > that can legally be absent) or locales (for not creating a file other > packages rely on) The existence of /etc/default/locale is not guaranteed, as locales is not an essential package. I don't think any package can readily be blamed for this. pam_env is rightfully complaining about being unable to read a file that was explicitly requested. And while login/ssh/etc. will support /etc/default/locale, they'll never pull locales as a dependency. So, unless pam_env grows a envfile_optional option, or someone comes up with some wicked magic to edit /etc/pam.d/* in the presence/absence of locales, I think we'll have to filter out this message. -- <Overfiend> Joy: Hey, I'm an asshole. Assholes emit odious gas. That's what we do. _______________________________________________ Logcheck-devel mailing list Logcheck-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/logcheck-devel
