Many thanks for taking this up, but unfortunately the update makes no
difference:
(Sun Mar 18 11:06:35 2012) [sssd[be[MY.DOMAIN]]] [ldb] (0): WARNING: Module
[memberof] not found - do you need to set LDB_MODULES_PATH?
(Sun Mar 18 11:06:35 2012) [sssd[be[MY.DOMAIN]]] [ldb] (0): Unable to load
modules for /var/lib/sss/db/cache_MY.DOMAIN.ldb: (null)
(Sun Mar 18 11:06:35 2012) [sssd[be[MY.DOMAIN]]] [be_process_init] (0): fatal
error opening cache database
(Sun Mar 18 11:06:35 2012) [sssd[be[MY.DOMAIN]]] [main] (0): Could not
initialize backend [5]
And thereafter all other services fail, too. The only difference is that now
sssd itself stays running when started with an empty /var/lib/sss/db whereas
before it refused to start alltogether. Even now, once sssd is strated once
and /var/lib/sss/db is populated, the next time it refuses to start.
This bug should not really be so hard to fix: there is a new LTM version of
sssd (1.8.1(!)) and who knows how many intermediate versions since 1.2.1.
Ubuntu already has some of these packaged and taking those packages and
repackaging them for Debian is almost trivial.
There is one catch, though: these Ubuntu packages depend on other packages not
present in Debian, but those packages come from sssd sources anyway (unless I
missed some), so they can simply be all stuffed into a single sssd package for
Debian if creating new packages and waiting for them to appear in unstable
takes too long.
For now, I am back to using my own packages compiled from Ubuntu's (oneiric)
sources.
Has anyone heard anything from the maintainer(s), btw? The last *FOUR* updates
of this package are NMU's!
I am cc'ing the latest NM uploader, too: I am more than willing to help with
getting this resolved since come wheezy, I will have a big issue at my hands
if this does not get fixed. I know how to get the Ubuntu packages to run on
unstable, so if that helps anyone develop a solution to this, I am ready to
assist.
Cheers,
Juha
