** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: sssd
+ [Impact]
+ the 32bit libnss-sss can't be installed on amd64, since the package depends
on perl which isn't multiarched. Reimplementing the snippet that used perl
allows the package to drop the dependency.
+
+ [Test case]
+ try to install libnss-sss:i386 on amd64
+
+ [Regression potential]
+ the perl snippet was replaced with (from postinst):
+
+ # append 'sss' to the end of the line if it's not found already
+ sed -i --regexp-extended '
+ /^(passwd|group|netgroup):/ {
+ /\bsss\b/! s/$/ sss/
+ }
+ ' /etc/nsswitch.conf
+
+ this has independently been verified to work. Note that the perl version
+ added the entry for shadow as well, but SSSD doesn't handle shadow maps.

I discovered this on Maverick amd64. When attempting to run a 32 bit
application, we get the following error, and the application fails to
run.
$ acroread
(acroread:20387): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown
user id (1115)
According to https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/190 , this is due to
the 32 bit application being unable to load the 64 bit library.
After installing the 32bit libnss-sss package files to /lib32, acroread
works as expected.
Please include the 32bit libnss-sss.so in the 64bit package, or do what
libnss-ldap does to handle this.
Thank you.
