Re: AW: libpam0
You wouldn't by any chance have 'adpkg' installed instead of 'dpkg',
would you?
The problem you are having seems to be that dpkg is trying to
configure each package immediately after unpacking, rather than after
unpacking both of them.
I have no trouble installing both packages with dpkg-1.4.0.8 --- I've
attached a transcript at the end of this message.

The reason for the circular dependencies is that it allows you to
upgrade libpam0 separately from libpam-utils, and therefore have two
different versions of libpam[0-9]+ installed on your system at the
same time. If I had made them a single package, you wouldn't be able
to have multiple versions installed at the same time, since the files
in libpam-utils would conflict with each other.
