ubuntu hangs on boot after installing ldap-auth-client

[Karlheinz Salver]

on my 14.04.4 after installing the metapackage ldap-auth-client
i detected the problem because the metapackage
includes libnss-ldap (auth-client-config, ldap-auth-config, libnss-ldap and libpam-ldap)

==> the system hangs when booting
    --> see also Bug #1024475 , https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnss-ldap/+bug/1024475

I will try to install libnss-ldapd

The package libnss-ldap is old and contains
 the symlink libnss_ldap.so.2 -to-> libnss_ldap-2.15.so ( /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ )
    libnss_ldap-2.15.so is dated of 2012-07-18

The package libnss-ldapd is newer and contains
    libnss_ldap.so.2 ( /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ ) ;no symlink
     libnss_ldap.so.2 is dated of 2014-07-29

i think it is recommended to install libnss-ldapd
             immediately after the metapackage ldap-auth-client
.

Can you share your /etc/nsswitch.conf file that triggers this hang during reboot?
