Package: passwd Version: 1:4.0.3-31sarge5 I just upgraded the passwd package on a mostly-woody system to the sarge version, and found that the new /etc/pam.d/passwd said:
@include common-password However, /etc/pam.d/common-password didn't exist. I then tried this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/pam.d# passwd passwd: Permission denied [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/pam.d(1)# passwd cpbs passwd: Permission denied I found that /usr/share/doc/libpam0g/Debian-PAM-MiniPolicy.gz says: Applications need to depend on libpam-runtime (>= 0.76-14) to guarantee that /etc/pam.d/common-* exist. When I upgraded libpam-runtime, /etc/pam.d/common-password appeared. passwd started working again: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/pam.d(1)# passwd cpbs Enter new UNIX password: I'd suggest the advice in Debian-PAM-MiniPolicy should be followed and passwd should depend on libpam-runtime (>= 0.76-14).
