Package: libpam-modules Version: 0.99.7.1-4 Severity: minor After updating the pam packages to the new version in testing (0.79-4 => 0.99.7.1-4), I get error messages in /var/log/auth.log about a missing file /etc/environment.
I don't know which package creates this file or if it's intended to exist on all debian systems. But it is indeed not there on all my systems and pam seems to rely on it from now on. The error messages go away with "touch /etc/environment", but maybe some care should be taken in the package to avoid tons of useless log messages.
