failure of authentication for Qpopper



Another problem since the update of Squeeze yesterday.

Qpopper was removed and I reinstalled it. 
As for the original installation, I left  
qpopper.conf as installed.

When the mailer attempts retrieval from qpopper 
this message appears.
RCV: -ERR [AUTH] PAM authentication failed for user "peter": Module is unknown (28)

The PAM library packages appear as installed 
previously.  The PAM modules should be available.

/var/log/ syslog has these lines.
Feb  7 16:08:13 joule in.qpopper[2825]: connect from 172.23.5.2 (172.23.5.2)

I've read /usr/share/doc/* and found nothing obviously 
relevant.

Any ideas about this?

Thanks,      ... Peter E.
