Bug Description
[ Impact ]
* In the pam 1.5.3-1 merge, documents formerly found in libpam-doc
were omitted. Just a few documents remain in a package that
formerly had many in /usr/share/
* A debdiff of the dropped files can be found in attachment
1.5.
* The fix takes the form of correcting a build dependency, which
results in the docs being again available.
[ Test Plan ]
* debdiff
* Obtain a copy of the current pam binary packages, perhaps with
`pull-lp-debs libpam-doc 1.5.3-5ubuntu5`
* Obtain a copy of the proposed pam binary packages, perhaps with
`pull-lp-debs libpam-doc 1.5.3-5ubuntu5.1`
* `debdiff libpam-
and verify that the documents are present
* upgrade
* Obtain a mantic test system - I personally used a mantic chroot
* `apt install libpam-doc doc-base`
* Adjust apt sources to change mantic to noble and ensure
noble-proposed is present
* `apt update; apt install libpam-
* Verify that the "Error in /usr/share/
longer present
[ Where problems could occur ]
* As usual, no SRU has zero risk
* Any change to pam risks problems in user logins failing, so that is
reflected in the regression test plan on LP: #2064350
[ Other Info ]
* None at this time

Package: libpam-doc
Version: 1.5.3-4
Severity: normal
An upgrade reported:

This is true; all of /usr/share/

doc-base files but are in fact missing. I don't know whether this is
intentional (in which case the doc-base registrations should be removed
to match), or an accidental build issue that should be fixed.

For some reason which I cannot explain at the moment, a local build of 1.5.3-5ubuntu5.1 in noble does not produce the expected extra documentation files, so it doesn't look like the change in build-deps is enough to fix it.
