Error messages from recent package update

[Jim Seymour <bluejay@speedfactory.net>]

This blazes by so quick in the bootup messages that I can't catch it and
I can't find it in dmesg, etc. It also appears to be preventing me from
using synaptic without using the command line "sudo synaptic".

configuration error - unknown item 'QUOTAS_ENAB' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'NOLOGIN_STR' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'ENV_HZ' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'PASS_MAX_LEN' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'CHFN_AUTH' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'CLOSE_SESSIONS' (notify
administrator)

Does anyone know which package is generating this? This is a Debian Etch
box running kernel 2.6.12 from kernel.org.

TIA,

Jim Seymour
