Comment 3 for bug 731879

Hello,

I have just verified that the libpam-ldap version in Precise (184-8.5ubuntu2) has the same issue.

I have a custom package that configures ldap (actually it configures much more than that) and I tried to add:
Provides: ldap-auth-config
to it, but because libpam-ldap Depends: ldap-auth-config (>= 0.5.2) - it ignores virtual packages, and pulls ldap-auth-config which in turn pulls ldap-auth-client.

If you do not want to just remove the dependency, perhaps you could add depend on a virtual package name by default and I could use that one instead?

I just verified against Debian testing (Wheezy) and their libpam-ldap 184-8.5 does not have this dependency at all. Why is it in Ubuntu?

Best regards,
Boleslaw Tokarski
