Link the bugreport with the patch #375533 and the bugreports for mailscanner #418619 and #418615 in it, attach the patch itself and point out that you want this problem resolved for the stable release. I have submitted the bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=468575 I think I have included all the relevant information.

Thanks for your help! It's surprisingly grateful to discover that someone takes a look at bug reports which were submitted a year ago. The problem was indeed, as stated in that bug report, that /etc/nsswitch.conf had mode 600. Changing permissions to 644 solved the problem. I wonder why a permissions problem would result in an assertion failure. But, anyway, it's fixed now. However, the ldap-nss.c assertion failure, doesn't seem to be fixed yet. I run a fully updated debian stable, and the problem persits when /etc/nsswitch.conf has mode 600 and shadow is set to compat ldap. greendragon:/home/daniel# LANG=C MailScanner --debug In Debugging mode, not forking... perl: ldap-nss.c:1376: do_init: Assertion `cfg-ldc_uris[__session.ls_current_uri] != ((void *)0)' failed. Ldap version in stable is 251 with some security fixes. The bug was fixed by upstream in 255 and testing runs 258. So there never was a specific debian-stable patch for this issue. Can I close this bug? -- Regards Simon Walter

Feel free to close the bug, but perhaps a backport of the patch to debian-stable would help, because it seems that bug #418615 is caused by the same problem. -- Linux registered user #327978 since summer 2003 http://greendragon.homelinux.org/~daniel/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

There are probably other bugreports on different packages related to this bug, but I don't know howto propose a patch for stable. Probably we should first contact the maintainer of libnss-ldap and talk to him. The bug should be reopend for the stable version or a new bugreport should be create and tagged as etch related. Yeah, I think the best would be if you report a new bug against libnss-ldap with reportbug from your stable system. Link the bugreport with the patch #375533 and the bugreports for mailscanner #418619 and #418615 in it, attach the patch itself and point out that you want this problem resolved for the stable release. Then lets see what happens. :) -- Regards Simon Walter
