Bug#574710: education-common: Should not install and enable libpam-ssh by default
Package: education-common
Version: 0.844
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
User: debian-edu@lists.debian.org
Usertag: debian-edu
As reported in bug #574708, I believe libpam-ssh causes problems with
cron. And given the fact that Debian Edu never have enabled this
module and do not really need it, I believe we should reduce its
depend on ignore (or perhaps even drop it?) in the common task to
avoid the problem.
The problem only show up in squeeze/testing, because pam configuration
is not set up automatically based on information provided by the
libpam* packages. This enable libpam-ssh and exposes us to its
behavior.
This patch reduces it from depends to ignore.
