[Bug 463562] Re: libvirt-bin Karmic upgrade fails when invalid users exist in /etc/group
So the attached patch would allow the package to upgrade/install. I'm attaching it here in case this is what we need. However, I think that we would just be hiding a problem under the rug. As part of libvirt's package installation procedure, it needs to create the libvirtd group, and add any admin users on the system to that group. If your system's groups or users configuration is busted, libvirt's packaging can't do what it needs to do. Hence, I think this bug is invalid. ** Attachment added: out http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34959360/out ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Invalid -- libvirt-bin Karmic upgrade fails when invalid users exist in /etc/group https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463562 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
Re: [Bug 463562] Re: libvirt-bin Karmic upgrade fails when invalid users exist in /etc/group
Yes, In this case the users are valid via LDAP, however the upgrade was being completed when the LDAP was unavailable. It was not the libvirt group, but the admin group as you noted. Once complete I re-added the users to the admin group and authentication and authorizations via LDAP was fine post-upgrade. Perhaps this implementation is flawed, but it is a packaged MDS implementation on Debian in the backend, and works well for mixed Windows/Debian/Ubuntu environments where users and groups transcend many different servers but have common home directory and authentication. If you can beat NFS+LDAP for common desktops across linux/unix domains, I am interested to know. Maybe Karmic+Eucalyptus is the end game, but we have this for now.

LDAP backend; Specifically MDS packages running on Debian Lenny. Updated/Tweaked, but similar setup to: http://www.howtoforge.com/mandriva-directory-server-on-debian-etch Perhaps a change to how we manage sudoers (LDAP group vs local group) is called for, though there is little we can do for users that tweak their own configuration using the GUI (easy add to admin).

Okay, well, I'm going to add a task against the adduser package. Perhaps the adduser package should handle this more gracefully. Colin, any opinion? ** Also affects: adduser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: adduser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: adduser (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- libvirt-bin Karmic upgrade fails when invalid users exist in /etc/group https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463562 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
