Granted, it is quite a long list of changes but 0.8.4 was never meant to be a stable release and the 0.8 series was in mind-development around 0.8.4 so that is to be expected.
On my system dpkg --compare-versions "" lt-nl "0.8" is false so it would seem the code is also not run on fresh installs (you should probably use lt instead of lt-nl if you want the described behaviour). Furthermore, with the patch applied dpkg-reconfigure nslcd no longer has the expected behaviour. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1350778 Title: Upgrading nslcd on precise rewrites /etc/nslcd.conf, leaving users with unusable systems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nss-pam-ldapd/+bug/1350778/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
