Package: kdm
Version: 4.2.0-1
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
When login into my shiny new KDE 4.2 kdm I got an error telling me that the
login failed and a log has been written to /var/log/kdm.log
As it turned out the information in /var/log/kdm.log was rather useless except
it's comment to also check the daemon.log file.
In /var/log/daemon.log I found:
Jan 29 19:22:07 deepThought kdm_greet[1322]: Cannot open default user face
Jan 29 19:30:58 deepThought kdm: :0[1316]: PAM error: Bad item passed to
pam_*_item()
Jan 29 19:31:12 deepThought kdm: :0[1316]: PAM error: Bad item passed to
pam_*_item()
I updated 3 PAM related packages and since I can login again. The 3 updates:
libpam-modules: 1.0.1-4 -> 1.0.1-5
libpam-runtime: 0.76-22 -> 1.0.1-5
libpam0g: 0.99.7.1-6 -> 1.0.1-5
Possibly there should be package dependency on at least 1 of these 3 packages
in order to prevent that problem.

Hi,
This bug is old. According to the author, it doesn't applied anymore, since the version of pam is newer, even of Debian stable.
So I am closing the bug. If you feel it's wrong, please re-open it and let me know.
Regards,
Adrien
