This is definitely not a bug of reportbug.  Please don't report
bugs against reportbug, unless you found bug in reportbug itself.

Also please don't report bugs in attachments, - provide the text
of the bug right in the message body.

The actual report seems to be:

Pam sends "When trying to update a password, this return status 
indicates that the value provided as the current password is not 
correct." when a password is mistyped.
Examples:
user@localhost:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for user:
When trying to update a password, this return status indicates that the 
value provided as the current password is not correct.
Speak English you fool --- there are no subtitles in this scene.
[sudo] password for user:

user@localhost:~$ ssh 127.0.0.1
user@127.0.0.1's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
user@127.0.0.1's password:
When trying to update a password, this return status indicates that the 
value provided as the current password is not correct.
When trying to update a password, this return status indicates that the 
value provided as the current password is not correct.

It looks like this is a pam-winbind issue.
