Login using password failed after upgrade to Fedora 34
When a device has a fingerprint reader, but no fingerprints are
enrolled, login fails on the default terminal. Switching to a
different virtual console allows login. Removing fprintd-pam resolves
the problem, but is probably not the solution we want. It may be that
modifications of nsswitch.conf outside of authselect cause fprintd to
get unexpected failures from authselect.
Just to clarify this one a bit: AIUI, this is the same bug we fixed
earlier in the cycle, but it's still a problem after update to the
'fixed' package for some people. It seems to affect two scenarios:
1. Very old installs, from a release where we had authconfig not
authselect, that have been upgraded all the way to F34
2. Installs where /etc/nsswitch.conf has been modified in any way
except via authselect, so authselect won't apply changes to it any more
I believe benzea is planning to try and solve this by having the
package make the specific change to the configuration that's necessary,
in affected cases. We think that just making this specific change in a
package scriptlet should be pretty safe, it shouldn't be able to break
any odd configuration we can think of.
