Seems to be perl's getwnam on line 56 of
/usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl. This makes no sense to me, as that seems to
return valid data. However simply replacing the line with a hand generated
array makes things work:
if (defined ($ENV{'LOGNAME'})) {
# @fowner = getpwnam ($ENV{'LOGNAME'});
@fowner = { "atporter","foo","21002","124"};
if (! @fowner) { die (sprintf ('unable to get login information for
username "%s"', $ENV{'LOGNAME'})); }
}
The following produces the same output both as a non root user (where I
still see the error on libnss-ldap.conf) and as root:
@fowner = getpwnam ("atporter");
@fowner = @fowner[2,3];
for (@fowner) {
print "$_\n";
}
