Title: failing autopkgtest due to password issue by nss Status in freeipa package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, I was failed by autopkgtests of freeipa, but not the old "ip route output changed" case. Like: https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac/autopkgtest-bionic/bionic/amd64/f/freeipa/20180201_161632_c9091@/log.gz It essentially does this and fails: $ apt install freeipa-server freeipa-server-dns freeipa-server-trust-ad freeipa-common freeipa-client freeipa-admintools freeipa-tests python-ipaclient python-ipalib python-ipaserver python-ipatests Containers: Bionic-as-is: installs ok Bionic-Proposed: installs ok In LP Infra: dpkg: error processing package freeipa-client (--configure): installed freeipa-client package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 Use Pinning to get the autopkgtest style: # cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/nssonlyproposed Package: * Pin: release a=bionic Pin-Priority: 1001 Package: libnss3 libnss3-tools libnss3-dev libnss3-dbg Pin: release a=bionic-proposed Pin-Priority: 1002 Bionic-nss-only-from-Proposed: TRIGGERS the issue freeipa-client is in the postinst calling this: python2 -c 'from ipapython.certdb import update_ipa_nssdb; update_ipa_nssdb()' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ipapython/certdb.py", line 64, in update_ipa_nssdb create_ipa_nssdb() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ipapython/certdb.py", line 53, in create_ipa_nssdb db.create_db(pwdfile) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ipapython/certdb.py", line 149, in create_db self.run_certutil(["-N", "-f", password_filename]) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ipapython/certdb.py", line 142, in run_certutil return ipautil.run(new_args, stdin, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ipapython/ipautil.py", line 515, in run raise CalledProcessError(p.returncode, arg_string, str(output)) subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '/usr/bin/certutil -d /etc/ipa/nssdb -N -f /etc/ipa/nssdb/pwdfile.txt' returned non-zero exit status 255 That is - if called alone complaining about the passwd: # /usr/bin/certutil -d /etc/ipa/nssdb -N -f /etc/ipa/nssdb/pwdfile.txt Invalid password. certutil: Could not set password for the slot: SEC_ERROR_BAD_PASSWORD: The security password entered is incorrect. Note that there is a related freeipa fix in later versions: freeipa (4.6.2-4) unstable; urgency=medium * client.postinst: Migrate from old nssdb only if it exists. And since that change freeipa has: if [ -f /etc/ipa/nssdb/cert8.db ]; then around the call. It also changed the import slightly - now the python being: python2 -c 'from ipaclient.install.client import update_ipa_nssdb; update_ipa_nssdb()' That in the "all-proposed" case with the cert8.db file copied over is still failing but differently: /usr/bin/certutil -d /etc/ipa/nssdb -L -f /etc/ipa/nssdb/pwdfile.txt certutil: function failed: SEC_ERROR_BAD_DATABASE: security library: bad database. The merge of nss was a minor bump 3.34->3.35 Also this is the nss version from Debian with the freeipa version from Debian. They seem to work together there. I don't fully understand it yet - so filing this bug for a discussion. I need the help of tjaalton who did the freeipa changes - maybe he knows what is going on. Do we have to: - rebuild freeipa against newer nss? - just mark something as bad test - something completely else?
