[Bug 2121017] Re: gdm3 49~beta doesn't start [unix_chkpwd: could not obtain user info (gdm-greeter)] on systems installed before 2024
This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 257.9-0ubuntu1
---------------
systemd (257.9-0ubuntu1) questing; urgency=medium
[ Nick Rosbrook ]
* New upstream stable version 257.9
- Bug fixes only
- Update upstream source from tag 'ubuntu/upstream/257.9'
Update to upstream version '257.9'
with Debian dir 991861d2786efe36972fc9cc9d3dcb496264de5a
* Drop resolve-re-create-link-unicast-scopes-on-reload.patch
Applied upstream: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/fc74fb8cb3
[ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
* debian/libnss-systemd.preinst: force nsswitch.conf update
Drop systemd instances in nsswitch.conf, and force postinst to
re-generate the file (LP: #2121017)
* debian/linbnss-systemd.nss: Install systemd service after files.
As suggested by upstream the systemd NSS service should come just after
files
[ Luca Boccassi ]
* systemd-boot-tools: change architecture to linux-any.
The tool can be used for cross-building, and it's available on
all architectures, not just EFI ones (LP: #2122158)
