2018-09-04 21:18:16 Jamie Strandboge description The only package that Depends on auth-client-config (demoted to universe at least as far back as xenial) is ldap-auth-config (also in universe; from ldap-auth-client source), but it didn't actually use auth-client-config, it only shipped an nss profile and the profile was not documented by ldap-auth-client. I removed the dependency in ldap-auth-client 0.5.4 in cosmic, so now auth-client-config can be safely removed.

I removed the dependency in ldap-auth-client 0.5.4 in cosmic, so now auth-client-config can be safely removed. pam-auth-update addressed the problems years ago that auth-client-config tried to solve and pam-auth-update is the Debian approved way of modifying pam. ldap-auth-client used to ship auth-client-config pam profiles, but this was removed in ldap-auth-client 0.5.3 in 2011. auth-client-config is unmaintained and should simply be removed.
