Unless I'm misunderstanding something, there's a simple workaround if this (or isn't) affecting you, and that is to make a trivial modification to your /etc/nsswitch.conf file. This will force any upgrade to either refuse to modify the file, or ask to modify it (which you can refuse). For example, you could add the line: # keep this file unchanged to the file (as root). This will change its MD5, preventing it from ever matching a previous default's value. Cheers, David.
libc-bin on one good, on the other report of a bug........
From my keyboard: Hello anyone with the time, On one of my laptops latest upgrade, Dell Inspiron "libc-bin" is fine: Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.31-13+deb11u2) ... On the other a HP 245 06 laptop it is reported as having a bug: #998008 Post install makes a working NIS system not to work anymore at every point release. So I place it in irons, on hold, and continue with the upgrade. I am a peasanto, a man of the land with two laptops, double trouble, and trying to understand a NIS system? Running the questions and asking for examples through Google. Without any joy of understanding. Can't get if I will be in trouble if the bug is ignored and this happens: "Post install makes a working NIS system not to work anymore at every point release." So ask the wisdom on this list. Any simple explanations out there, if someone is inclined, for hoople head like myself.
