Details

Description: The /etc/nsswitch.conf list "db" in some search entries, but libnss_db.so isn't in any core/extra package.


protocols: db files
services: db files
ethers: db files
rpc: db files

netgroup: db files

So any program that uses any of these services, first tries to load a inexistent libnss_db.so

Additional info:
filesystem-2009.01-1


Steps to reproduce:
For example:
LD_DEBUG=libs ntpdate ntp.nasa.gov
<snip>
24861: transferring control: ntpdate
24861:
24861: find library=libnss_db.so.2 [0]; searching
<snip>
24861: trying file=/lib/tls/i686/sse2/libnss_db.so.2
24861: trying file=/lib/tls/i686/libnss_db.so.2
24861: trying file=/lib/tls/sse2/libnss_db.so.2
24861: trying file=/lib/tls/libnss_db.so.2

24861:
24861: find library=libnss_files.so.2 [0]; searching
24861: search cache=/etc/ld.so.cache
24861: trying file=/lib/libnss_files.so.2
24861:
24861:
24861: calling init: /lib/libnss_files.so.2
