Title:
libpam-ldap depends on ldap-auth-client
Status in “libpam-ldap” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: libpam-ldap
Installation of libpam-ldap adds loads of trash to the system.
Dependency on ldap-auth-config pulls also ldap-auth-client. As I can
see ldap-auth-config is used for configuration of PAM in some old-way
(it overwrites /etc/pam.d/common-*) and not actually using the libpam-
runtime's pam-auth-update to manage pam.d files.
Meanwhile libpam-ldap also depends on libpam-runtime! So in one
package we depend on the old and the new config way, while in fact the
postinstall script uses the new one and the user would have to run the
old one manually. Why do this at all? And why "depend" on ldap-auth-
client. Perhaps if somebody was interested in this, it could be
"Suggested"?
