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. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-vserver-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ca_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ca_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
