Yes, I'm quite confident that your bug is the same as the problem on Soeren's system. I have a fix now in svn that should be uploaded with -4 in the next couple of days. When you get access to your system, you can fix it by removing any lines from /etc/environment that are not of the form "VARIABLE=VALUE" or "export VARIABLE=VALUE". Any other lines in /etc/environment are still errors, my fix will just make it so that these errors are not fatal. > There is some number of reports about many services needed to > restart after upgrading pam.

The -3 upload already includes code to restart services on upgrade, and samba is included in the list. It's possible that there are some services still missing from the list, and I'm happy to receive bug reports if you find such a service. > And finally, rhetorical question: is it possible to catch bugs, > like this, that cause the earthquake, before upload? No, it's impossible to prove that there are no bugs in a given upload of such a piece of software. I certainly did as much QA before uploading as I could, but the bug you found has only been reported by two people, out of hundreds or thousands that track unstable. That's why we have separate unstable, testing, and stable suites -- to catch the bugs that one person alone isn't going to be able to find.
