Pierre,
And is that check run during the installation step where his error
happened?
Yes (please read the book, it's there).
For the record, glibc-2.26 and later no longer installs a libnss_nis
by default:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/54592
"The NIS(+) name service modules, libnss_nis, libnss_nisplus, and
libnss_compat, are deprecated, and will not be built or installed by
default. Replacement implementations based on TIRPC, which
additionally support IPv6, are available from
<https://github.com/thkukuk/libnss_{compat,nis,nisplus}>."
and also note for those upgrading an existing glibc:
"Since nsswitch.conf is a backup file for filesystem, wouldn't dropping
the obsolete-nsl flag require a manual intervention for everyone with
a modified nsswitch.conf? As I understand it now, breaking the 'compat'
module would force all such users to correct it *before* they update
to a new glibc, or they will become immediately unable to fix their
system without booting from alternative media or using an emergency
shell."
It's not clear to me what exactly the new glibc does not like
in "modified" nsswitch.conf.
All I can tell is that I upgraded to glibc-2.26 on an already built
system, and the test-installation.pl check passed. I think the
environment in early chapter 6 prevents the test-installation.pl script
to find that the obsolete nis modules are not installed, but on a
completed system, it works.
