Gabriel,
The error is not related to dependencies. The program seems not to have a good sanitization of the input, for example if
you try:
# nss_updatedb blah passwd
You get the error:
Failed to load nameservice provider libnss_blah.so.2: libnss_blah.so.2: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
If you check the attachment you'll see that the second parameter is
never validated when two or three parameters are passed to the program.
** Attachment added: "Source Code for main.c in nss-updatedb_8.orig.tar.gz"
