Package: nis Version: 3.17-17 Severity: critical Hi,
installing nis in a chroot with chroot $DIR apt-get install nis causes nis to break down on the main system. E.g. sudo says: YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound sudo: unknown uid: 1009 Restarting nis on the main system fixes the problem. I beliefe the problem is the following in postinst: # And start the service. if [ "$2" != "" -a "$2" != "<>" ] && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" le 3.9-1 then killall ypbind >/dev/null 2>&1 || true fi which kills not just the ypbind in the chroot (of which there is none) but also any other ypbind including the systems one.
