Package: libpam-abl
Version: 0.4.3-1
Severity: normal

Today I tried to whitelist one of my hosts with the following results.
The second pam_abl listing hung and had to be interrupted with C-c.

    $ sudo pam_abl
    <expected listing>
    $ sudo pam_abl --whitelist -H <host>
    No such file or directory (2) while reading config file
    Invalid argument (22) while reading config file: No db_home dir specified
    $ sudo pam_abl
    pam-abl: unable to join the environment
    pam-abl: unable to join the environment
    ^C $

I removed all of the files in my pam-abl database directory
(db_home=/var/lib/abl/) and this cleared up the problem.

In addition to having a corrupted database, the error message above is
incorrect; as you can see, db_home *is* specified.

Note that I just upgraded to wheezy, so I'm suspecting a database
upgrade had a role to play. If this is true, please retitle this issue
to "Upgrading database version corrupts database." Dependencies should
be put in place so that the pam-abl database is automatically rebuilt
upon a database upgrade. At the very least, documentation should be
added to /usr/share/doc/libpam-abl/README.Debian. For example, please
see Section 2.6, Updating Berkeley DB version underneath bogofilter, in
/usr/share/doc/bogofilter-bdb/README.db.
