Bug#596375: pam-pgsql: upgrade from versions < 0.7.1 with no pw_crypt set will break PAM setups

Fri, 10 Sep 2010 12:45:21 -0700 

Package: pam-pgsql
Version: upgrade from versions before 0.7.1 will break installations where 
pw_type is not explicitly set
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Nirgal Vourgère brought to my attention that the default password type in
pam-pgsql was changed from "clear" to "sha1" between the version in Lenny
(0.6.3) and the current version (0.7.1). This change will break the PAM setup
for Lenny users who use pam-pgsql but have no pw_type defined in their
/etc/pam_pgsql.conf.

Because a PAM module might break unrelated software I set the severity of this
bug to critical.
