Bug Description
since the nssov slapd overlay can also provide the necessary components for the stub libraries to work, nss-pam-ldapd should not explicitly depend on nslcd. users using the overlay would have no need for nslcd, and therefore it would not need to be installed.
To post a comment you must log in.
Another alternative would be to have a separate package for the nssov overlay which would provide/conflict nslcd. That package (slapd-nssov?) could then also have the maintainer scripts configure and enable the overlay in slapd.
I don't think dropping the dependency is a good idea because users upgrading from older versions where the daemon was part of libnss-ldapd would end up with a non-functioning system without a clear way to fix it after an upgrade.
