Software projects are recommended to switch to TI-RPC. https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-announce/2020/000029.html Disable the NIS basic authentication helper. TL;DR I think it's less risky to disable NIS than to try to port this basic auth helper to use tirpc. Both approaches will require an FFe. It needs rpc.h which is no longer provided by glibc 2.32[1]. An alternative is to use libtirpc, and I tried that in another branch[2], but here are the reasons for not doing that: - the patch is a bit more complicated - I don't really fancy testing NIS - who still uses NIS? - I have no idea if tirpc is a drop-in replacement like that (goes back to testing this, listed above) Fedora dropped this helper in 2018[3] exactly because of the rpc deprecation in glibc: * Wed Jan 17 2018 Luboš Uhliarik <luhliari@redhat.com> - 7:4.0.22-1 - new version 4.0.22 - Removed NIS helper (#1531540) I tried to use libtirpc in [2], and it builds and the executable runs, but the remarks I made above about NIS remains. Plus, there are some unknowns in this attempt of mine: - dpkg-shlibdeps didn't flag libtirpc as a needed dependency - ldd shows libtirpc, but objdump -x ... | grep NEEDED doesn't. Looks like dpkg-shlibdeps only goes over the NEEDED deps shown by objdump -x - I think ldd, being recursive, found libtirpc via libnsl, which is one of the NEEDED deps in objdump - adding -ltirpc to the linking phase of that helper means changing an autoconf file, and calling autoreconf. That introduced (or revealed?) a bug where mime.conf was no longer instaled in /usr/share/squid, but in /etc/squid. So I had to fix that too - the helper builds even without -ltirpc in the linking phase, which would simplify the branch a bit as I wouldn't have to regenerate the Makefile, but I wonder why it builds... If I can be sure not having to use -ltirpc is correct, and not that it worked by just pure chance, then maybe the libtirpc approach has some merit, but it would still need testing, and find out why the new dependency wasn't added automatically by shlibs. Adding it manually to depends is icky.
