[Bug 692727] Re: perl dependency prevents installing the 32bit libs on amd64
I guess sssd binary should be 'Multi-Arch: foreign' then, which would
mean that sssd:amd64 would satisfy the dependency for libnss-sss:i386?

Title:
perl dependency prevents installing the 32bit libs on amd64
Status in “sssd” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “sssd” source package in Precise:
Fix Committed
Status in “sssd” package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
[Impact]
the 32bit libnss-sss can't be installed on amd64, since the package depends on perl which isn't multiarched. Reimplementing the snippet that used perl allows the package to drop the dependency.
[Test case]
try to install libnss-sss:i386 on amd64
[Regression potential]
the perl snippet was replaced with (from postinst):
# append 'sss' to the end of the line if it's not found already
sed -i --regexp-extended '
/^(passwd|group|netgroup):/ {
/\bsss\b/! s/$/ sss/
}
' /etc/nsswitch.conf
this has independently been verified to work. Note that the perl
version added the entry for shadow as well, but SSSD doesn't handle
shadow maps.

I discovered this on Maverick amd64. When attempting to run a 32 bit
application, we get the following error, and the application fails to
run.
$ acroread
(acroread:20387): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown
user id (1115)
According to https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/190 , this is due to
the 32 bit application being unable to load the 64 bit library.
After installing the 32bit libnss-sss package files to /lib32,
acroread works as expected.
Please include the 32bit libnss-sss.so in the 64bit package, or do
what libnss-ldap does to handle this.
Thank you.
