[Steve Langasek <steve.langasek@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Attached is a tentative patch for this issue (completely untested).
Removing "/lib:/usr/lib" from the DEFAULT_LIBPATH is not strictly
necessary, although leaving them here means they'll be searched twice
(once explicitly, once as part of ld.so's default search path) and we
don't really want them to appear in front of the multiarch dirs on the
search path.  But it also forces the issue; if there's other code
relying on java.lib.path to be complete, that code will start failing
immediately even if the libraries they're looking for haven't been
converted for multiarch.  So this needs to be weighed carefully given
where we are in the release cycle.

(BTW, Matthias, the openjdk-6 source package has a Vcs-Bzr field
pointing at a branch that's not up to date.  Did you forget to push?)

Title:
  JNI unable to find libpam.so

Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I'm currently packaging Jenkins for Ubuntu; this application has
  native authentication integration through the use of PAM. This was
  working fine i.e. the java native interface dispatcher was able to
  find libpam.so in /lib and all was happy.

  I've just updated my test system and native authentication no longer
  works; the JNI dispatcher can't find the library.  I have done a bit
  of digging and it looks like libpam.so.* is installed to /lib/i386
  -linux-gnu instead of /lib (as on Maverick and possibly earlier Natty
  releases?).  This directory is not on the java.library.path by default
  which I suspect may be the issue (see below for default java library
  path):

  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/client:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/../lib/i386:/usr/java/packages/lib/i386:/usr/lib/jni:/lib:/usr/lib

  So I'm not sure whether this is a bug in pam or openjdk but I guess it
  could be either.
