[Touch-packages] [Bug 1892825] Re: update-locale not perform correctly sanity checks
Hello bs, or anyone else affected, Accepted glibc into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/2.27-3ubuntu1.6 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: glibc (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pam in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1892825 Title: update-locale not perform correctly sanity checks Status in glibc package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in pam package in Ubuntu: New Status in glibc source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in pam source package in Bionic: New Status in glibc source package in Focal: Fix Released Status in pam source package in Focal: New Status in glibc source package in Hirsute: Won't Fix Status in pam source package in Hirsute: New Status in glibc source package in Impish: New Status in pam source package in Impish: New Bug description: [impact] A simple typo using the update-locale script can render a system inoperable without booting into single user mode or similar: $ sudo update-locale LANGUAGE = en_US.UTF-8 $ sudo -s sudo: pam_open_session: Bad item passed to pam_*_item() sudo: policy plugin failed session initialization [test case] $ cp /etc/default/locale /tmp/locale $ update-locale --locale-file /tmp/locale LANGUAGE = en_US.UTF-8 "diff -u /etc/default/locale /tmp/locale" should be empty. $ update-locale --locale-file /tmp/locale LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 The LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 line should have been replaced by LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8. $ update-locale --locale-file /tmp/locale LANGUAGE The LANGUAGE setting is now commented out.

Hello bs, or anyone else affected, Accepted glibc into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/2.31-0ubuntu9.5 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B.

@Michael: I could easily reproduce the issue at the time (a year ago). Good that it's about to be fixed. As you can see in comment #2 I first turned to Debian, but the response was a bit disappointing.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1892825] Re: update-locale not perform correctly sanity checks
Adding a pam task, pam_env does some sanity checking of the input (e.g. %=1 in /etc/default/locale gets ignored) so I don't see why an empty variable name should cause a total failure. But will fix the update- locale script too. ** Also affects: pam (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pam in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1892825 Title: update-locale not perform correctly sanity checks Status in glibc package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in pam package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: By passing wrong input as following: sudo update-locale LANGUAGE = en_US.UTF-8 result is: ... #LANGUAGE=en = This "equal" sign that was added makes system completely unusable(can't run sudo anymore): bentzy@bentzy-nb:~$ sudo vim /etc/default/locale sudo: pam_open_session: Bad item passed to pam_*_item() sudo: policy plugin failed session initialization Fixed it booting from installation disk and fixing corrupted /etc/default/locale ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: locales 2.31-0ubuntu9 Uname: Linux 5.5.4-050504-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.6 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Tue Aug 25 09:36:03 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-08-17 (7 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200423) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: glibc UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1892825/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
