Package: libsss-sudo Version: 1.16.2-1 Severity: serious Justification: policy violation (section 10.7.3) User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu cosmic
Steps to reproduce: 1. apt install sssd 2. Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and remove "sss" from the "sudoers" entry 3. apt install --reinstall libsss-sudo Expected behaviour: "sss" remains not present in /etc/nsswitch.conf (ie. the local change is preserved). Actual behaviour: "sss" is re-added to nsswitch.conf. I have verified this behaviour in a Debian sid container today. Policy violation: This breaks "local changes must be preserved during a package upgrade" from policy section 10.7.3. Suggested fix: Make the change only on fresh install of the package, rather than on upgrade. Additional information: You might be interested to know that the reason users are hitting this is that they are trying to work around a different bug that is reported downstream here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sssd/+bug/1249777. But the workaround gets removed on upgrade. Thanks, Robie
