Public bug reported:
I glanced at the libpam-python 1.0.4-1.1+deb8u1build0.16.04.1 diff but
it wasn't immediately obvious - why does this security update break
importing httplib2 ? Other more standard imports like sys, os,
datetime, don't seem to be a problem. Does this update change or
restrict the python module paths?
Here's the error that shows up in /var/log/auth.log
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/lib/security/pam_pacauth.py", line 18, in <module>
from httplib2 import Http
ImportError: No module named httplib2
Here's line 18 from my pam module:
from httplib2 import Http
To reproduce this ( on 16.04 ) just install httplib2 using:
pip2 install httplib2
and then try to use a python pam module with this line in it:
from httplib2 import Http
With the older 1.0.4-1 version this has worked just fine for the past 4
years.
