Alexander...
I've bitten the bullet and installed a fresh "testing" on my desktop.
The bug does appear to be history on this platform. I cant reproduce it.
Yeah, I understand you very well indeed. :)
E.g. I have a problem with apcupsd-cgi on one
Debian/testing host while everything is OK on 2 Sarge
hosts. Maintainer of apcupsd-cgi suggested me to
upgrade one stable host to testing and check whether
the problem appears. ;)
I wasnt able to dist-upgrade, ended up with a slightly crippled box. So
rest of day reinstalling and moving from evolution to thunderbird
(evolution freezing too often - I had enough of it).
There was one ldap related issue which was to do with having "files
ldap" as a lookup for protocols/services in /etc/nsswitch.conf. This
causes udev to not start properly. I need to narrow it down to one of
the above - my suspicion is "protocols". Obviously, udev not coming up
makes the host pretty useless.
OK. But I think it's not the right time to clese this
bug. Christian, please wait a bit. I'll check the setup
on sarge to see whether it has any security impact or
not. Security-related bugs should be fixed in stable
AFAIR.
And I have A LOT ;) of sarge hosts in Lab, all of them
_will_ be promoted from NIS to LDAP, anyway. Contrary
to Greg's situation, it's not a matter of hosts
availability but availability of time...
