2008-11-13 02:00:48 Steve Langasek pam: statusexplanation This error happens if you don't have a version of debconf installed that implements x_loadtemplatefile, which is possible because libpam-runtime is missing a versioned dependency on debconf (>= 1.5.19). But Ubuntu 8.04 shipped with debconf 1.5.20, so this is only possible if you've bypassed upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 before upgrading to Ubuntu 8.10, as Stefan notes. Upgrading the debconf package will fix this error. I'll correct the package dependency in jaunty so that this is handled automatically for future upgrades (mostly applicable for the next LTS release).

2009-01-20 11:07:09 Steve Langasek pam: statusexplanation This bug was fixed in the upload of pam 1.0.1-5ubuntu1. Changes: pam (1.0.1-5ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low * Merge from Debian unstable * Remaining changes: - debian/libpam-modules.postinst: Add PATH to /etc/environment if it's not present there or in /etc/security/pam_env.conf. (should send to Debian). - debian/libpam0g.postinst: only ask questions during update-manager when there are non-default services running. - debian/patches-applied/series: Ubuntu patches are as below ... - debian/patches-applied/ubuntu-fix_standard_types: Use standard u_int8_t type rather than __u8. - debian/patches-applied/ubuntu-no-error-if-missingok: add a new, magic module option 'missingok' which will suppress logging of errors by libpam if the module is not found. - debian/patches-applied/ubuntu-regression_fix_securetty: prompt for password on bad username. - debian/patches-applied/ubuntu-rlimit_nice_correction: Explicitly initialise RLIMIT_NICE rather than relying on the kernel limits. - debian/patches-applied/ubuntu-user_defined_environment: Look at ~/.pam_environment too, with the same format as /etc/security/pam_env.conf. (Originally patch 100; converted to quilt.) - Change Vcs-Bzr to point at the Ubuntu branch. - debian/local/pam-auth-update (et al): new interface for managing /etc/pam.d/common-*, using drop-in config snippets provided by module packages. - debian/local/common-password, debian/pam-configs/unix: switch from "md5" to "sha512" as password crypt default. * Bump the version numbers referenced in the config files, again, as pam has revved in Debian and moved the bar. * pam-auth-update: If /var/lib/pam/seen is absent, treat this the same as a present but empty file; thanks to Greg Price for the patch. LP: #294513. * pam-auth-update: Ignore removed profiles when detecting an empty set of currently-enabled modules. Thanks to Greg Price for this as well. * debian/control: libpam-runtime needs a versioned dependency on debconf, because it uses the x_loadtemplatefile extension that's not supported by debconf versions before hardy. LP: #295135. * pam-auth-update: trim leading whitespace from multiline fields when parsing PAM profiles. LP: #295441. * pam-auth-update: factor out the duplicate code used for returning the lines for a given module [ Jonathan Marsden ] * debian/patches/027_pam_limits_better_init_allow_explicit_root: Add to patch, documenting how to set limits for root user. Include an example. Alters limits.conf, limits.conf.5.xml, and limits.conf.5 . (LP: #65244)
