To solve this problem, what I have done was first to install the NEW
version of libpam0g, THEN upgrade the rest of the system:
- apt-get update
- apt-get install libpam0g (installs also libpam-runtime & removes
libpa0g-util)
- apt-get dist-upgrade.
I have done this on both i386 and sun architectures, and it has worked
fine on both.
Hope this helps
