This information does not belong in /etc/nsswitch.conf. nsswitch.conf is a configuration file for libc, for selecting between NSS modules; autofs should not be relying on being able to stick its own configuration settings in this file. And base-files should not be adding such non-standard config settings. Marking as invalid for base- files.
A proper autofs fix is to move this configuration information out of /etc/nsswitch.conf entirely, so that its parser stops tripping over perfectly valid libc configurations. ** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu Precise) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu Quantal) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to autofs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488696 Title: syntax error in nsswitch config near [ syntax error ] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs/+bug/488696/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
