(/var/lib/dpkg/info/libnss- sss:amd64.postinst) After running `apt remove libnss-sss`, the same lines are modified again in /etc/nsswitch.conf to remove the changes. If you then install libnss-sss again, nsswitch.conf is NOT re-modified on subsequent installs. libnss-sss will only re-modify /etc/nsswitch.conf if it has been purged first / "clean" install. Expectation: if config is changed *only* during initial install, then config should be left behind during a remove, and config only removed when the package is *purged*. The only exception I can think of is if there's some specific reason to want to back out the changes to /etc/nsswitch.conf any time libnss-sss is removed (but *not* purged)... and if this is the case, then I'd think maybe the postinst script should be *re-adding* "sss" to nsswitch.conf on *any* install/reinstall (even if it wasn't purged first). + + I'm happy to provide any other information needed, but this is my first + filed bug so I apologize if I'm lacking. :)
