Bug#984876: openssh-server: logs unsightly errors from pam_env due to missing /etc/default/locale
Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:8.4p1-4
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
I installed openssh-server in an autopkgtest VM for debugging. It works
fine, but pollutes the logs with red messages like
sshd[2122]: pam_env(sshd:session): Unable to open env file: /etc/default/locale: No such file or directory
The locales package is not installed on this VM, but I didn't do
anything for that.
In my opinion it would be nice to get rid of that error is possible.
Apparently it comes from /etc/pam.d/sshd:
# In Debian 4.0 (etch), locale-related environment variables were moved to
# /etc/default/locale, so read that as well.
session required pam_env.so user_readenv=1 envfile=/etc/default/locale
Or should (for example) base-files make sure it exists?

Feri.
