Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apport

Apport does not know about for example "libnss". Trying to report a bug
found for libnss just gives back "unknown package". This is quite bad,
since libnss-bugs are in most cases fatal for the whole system!!!

We've found a bug with libnss:
Configure your system to use /etc-files then ldap, nis, or whatever. Have your 
user in some local groups, *and* in some ldap, nis, whatever only groups. Then 
logoff, logon again. Do "getent group". All groups are listed -- local ones and 
the ldap, nis, other ones. Now do "id". Only local groups are shown. You are 
not a member of any ldap, nis, orwhatever defined group!
This is quite bad, mainly, if groups are defined to disallow users access.
