Doh... done =) ** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: autofs5 + [IMPACT] - This is the error I get in syslog after autofs start. I have some issues - with autofs not working, and that can be the case. + By default installed autofs, fails to parse the default/unmodified + nsswitch.conf and hence does not fall back to files stanza. The parser + fails if it doesn't find automount stanza in the nsswitch.conf, and by + default there isn't one on Debian/Ubuntu systems. The fix is to change + the flex parser to accept nsswitch.conf without an automount stanza as a + valid configuration file (empty from the autofs point of view) which + then makes is gracefully fallback to the files stanza as expected. - ProblemType: Bug - Architecture: i386 - Date: Thu Nov 26 12:19:24 2009 - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 - NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx - Package: autofs5 5.0.4-3 - ProcEnviron: - LANGUAGE=pl_PL:pl:en_GB:en - PATH=(custom, no user) - LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-15.50-generic - SourcePackage: autofs5 - Uname: Linux 2.6.31-15-generic i686 - XsessionErrors: (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:2732): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed + [TESTCASE] + + * Install autofs package + * Notice "syntax erro in nsswitch config new near [ syntax error ]" in syslog + * Update package + * Notice that autofs starts, and mounts (if any) configured in /etc/auto.master are mounted. + * There is no syntax error from autofs in the syslog + + [Regression Potential] + + * If system administrator configured automoun in the nsswitch.conf, that behaviour is preserved and still supported. + * Previously expected default fallback behaviour did not work, i.e. mounts defined in auto.master with no changes to nsswitch.conf, but now do. + + [Other Info] + + * A similar patch has been applied in Debian -- 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
