Package: libpam-ldap
Version: 184-4.2
Severity: normal
I just installed libpam-ldap and answered a few Debconf questions. The
result, in the config file was:
# Another way to specify your LDAP server is to provide an
uri ldap:///ldap.iti.upv.es/
# Unix Domain Sockets to connect to a local LDAP Server.
#uri ldap://127.0.0.1/
#uri ldaps://127.0.0.1/
#uri ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fldapi_sock/
# Note: %2f encodes the '/' used as directory separator
So it seems the debconf script looks for a commented line starting with
a certain pattern. In the case of ^uri, it's munging the comment
instead of the commented out example.
Apparently it's this bit in postinst:
[...]
if [ "$notthere" = "1" ]; then
add_missing $parameter $value
else
# i really need a better way to do this...
# currently we replace only the first match, we need a better
# way of dealing with multiple hits.
if [ "$commented" = "1" ]; then
value="$value" parameter="$parameter" perl -i -p -e
's/^# *\Q$ENV{"parameter"}\E .*/$ENV{"parameter"} $ENV{"value"}/i
and $match=1 unless ($match)' $CONFFILE
[...]
This seems dangerous, as the comment suggests.
