Public bug reported: These 4 packages are co-dependent on each other: libnss-ldap is no longer maintained upstream* libpam-ldap is no longer maintained (same company as above) ldap-auth-config/client - Ubuntu specific packages to help configuring, last updated in 2011
Release: Vivid onwards, these packages are in universe. Rationale: aside from no longer being maintained (and having a good amount of unfixed bugs), sssd is the preferred way to authenticate to ldap. Additionally the universe libnss-ldap*d* package is better than this one in many respects. Reverse Depends: ldap-auth-config - zentyal-users (universe), python-schooltool.ldap (universe) Suggests to either ldap/ldapd - pynslcd (universe), cipux-rpcd (universe) Eventually (sometime after 16.04 maybe?) we'd likely want to get rid of ldap-auth-config/client and revert to Debian's packaging of libnss-ldap /libpam-ldap.
