justification: Renders the package unusable on systems with LDAP/PAM


Hi!


I can confirm this bug. On a Wheezy system with nscd and libnss-ldap is
impossible to use sudo.


# apt-cache policy sudo
sudo:
  Installed: 1.8.5p2-1
  Candidate: 1.8.5p2-1
  Version table:
 *** 1.8.5p2-1 0
        500 http://debian/debian/ sid/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://debian/debian/ testing/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.7.4p4-2.squeeze.3 0
        500 http://debian/debian/ stable/main amd64 Packages


$ sudo ls /
[sudo] password for clopez:
sudo: PERM_ROOT: setresuid(0, -1, -1): Operation not permitted
sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/clopez/1: Operation not permitted
sudo: unable to set supplementary group IDs: Operation not permitted
sudo: unable to execute /bin/ls: Operation not permitted



Downgrading the package to squeeze version fixes the problem automatically

# apt-get install sudo=1.7.4p4-2.squeeze.3

$ sudo ls /
[sudo] password for clopez:
bin  boot  dev  etc  home  lib  lib32  lib64  lost+found  media  mnt  opt
 proc  root  run  sbin  selinux  srv  sys  tmp  usr     var


IMHO this bug should be fixed before releasing Wheezy. Sudo is not
usable on systems configured with LDAP/PAM (which is a setup widely
used). Therefore I'm raising the severity.


Thanks!
