[Bug 488696] Re: syntax error in nsswitch config near [ syntax error ]

[Steve Langasek]

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
