Thanks for the pointer to the patch. I thought I tested the release before uploading but apparently I was mistaken. Sorry about that. Preparing another upload with this fix (I'll run some tests this time). A few other thoughts: * It might be nice to build nss-ldap with -Wimplicit -Werror or something along those lines. FTBFS is much better than fail-to-boot. * 'sudo' just crashes on null pointer dereference; 'su' complains about the link error. It'd be much better if the client apps would just ignore the missing nsswitch module. Patches are always welcome, however, libnss-ldap currently doesn't have a maintainer so if someone who actually regularly uses this package would step up to become maintainer that would help. I personally use nss-pam-ldapd which is easier to maintain and contains almost all features nss_ldap has but I understand some people still prefer nss_ldap so I uploaded a new release that should fix some bugs.

Bug#727177: Upgrade of libnss-ldap to 265-1 causes important binaries to segfault
The issue is that libnss-ldap is ending up with a dependency on __libc_lock_lock, which was removed from glibc. So anything that tries to load libnss-ldap via nsswitch ends up getting a NULL for the library load, and then behaves poorly. There is a patch at https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/extra/nss_ldap/nss_ldap-265-glibc-2.16.patch that fixed the problem for me. I had to edit it slightly to get along with the log_authpriv patch. A few other thoughts: * It might be nice to build nss-ldap with -Wimplicit -Werror or something along those lines.

I just did run into exactely the same issue. No login possible after that update, when chrooting from a rescue system zsh did segfault. i was lucky to find bash still usable and i managed to identify libnss-ldap as the cause and could sucessfully downgrade to 264-2.5 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Same here. I can not login to the system in any way, I am trying to boot from a pen drive to downgrade libnss-ldap. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
