[Bug 2064360] Re: libpam-doc: doc-base reports missing files

[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello Dan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted pam into noble-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/1.5.3-5ubuntu5.1
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
noble to verification-done-noble. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-noble. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: pam (Ubuntu Noble)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-noble

Title:
  libpam-doc: doc-base reports missing files

Status in pam package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in pam source package in Noble:
  Fix Committed
Status in pam package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

   * In the pam 1.5.3-1 merge, documents formerly found in libpam-doc
     were omitted.  Just a few documents remain in a package that
     formerly had many in /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/{html,txt}.
   * A debdiff of the dropped files can be found in attachment
     1.5.2-9.1ubuntu3_to_1.5.3-5ubuntu5_libpam-doc.debdiff
   * The fix takes the form of correcting a build dependency, which
     results in the docs being again available.

  [ Test Plan ]

   * debdiff
     * Obtain a copy of the current pam binary packages, perhaps with
       `pull-lp-debs libpam-doc 1.5.3-5ubuntu5`
     * Obtain a copy of the proposed pam binary packages, perhaps with
       `pull-lp-debs libpam-doc 1.5.3-5ubuntu5.1`
     * `debdiff libpam-doc_1.5.3-5ubuntu5{,.1}_all.deb`
       and verify that the documents are present
   * upgrade
     * Obtain a mantic test system - I personally used a mantic chroot
     * `apt install libpam-doc doc-base`
     * Adjust apt sources to change mantic to noble and ensure
       noble-proposed is present
     * `apt update; apt install libpam-doc/noble-proposed`
     * Verify that the "Error in /usr/share/doc-base" messages are no
       longer present

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * As usual, no SRU has zero risk
   * Any change to pam risks problems in user logins failing, so that is
     reflected in the regression test plan on LP: #2064350

  [ Other Info ]

   * None at this time

  Package: libpam-doc
  Version: 1.5.3-4
  Severity: normal

  An upgrade reported:

    Error in `/usr/share/doc-base/libpam-doc.pam-admin-guide', line 14: all `Format' sections are invalid.
    Error in `/usr/share/doc-base/libpam-doc.pam-applications-guide', line 17: all `Format' sections are invalid.
    Error in `/usr/share/doc-base/libpam-doc.pam-modules-guide', line 14: all `Format' sections are invalid.

  This is true; all of /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/html/Linux-PAM_SAG.html,
  /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/html/sag-*.html,
  /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/txt/Linux-PAM_SAG.txt.gz,
  /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/html/Linux-PAM_ADG.html,
  /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/html/adg*.html,
  /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/txt/Linux-PAM_ADG.txt.gz,
  /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/html/Linux-PAM_MWG.html,
  /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/html/mwg*.html, and
  /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/txt/Linux-PAM_MWG.txt.gz are listed in those
  doc-base files but are in fact missing.  I don't know whether this is
  intentional (in which case the doc-base registrations should be removed
  to match), or an accidental build issue that should be fixed.
