Hello,
In fact, i have also this bug. It comes from a circular versionned
dependency betwee lipam0g and libpam-modules :
libpam0g depend on libpam-modules > 0.7.X and
libpam-modules depends on libpam0g > 0.7.X...
So if you try to upgrade from a version below 0.7.X you cannot get it to
work... Or you have to ignore the dependcy...
