[Bug 790538] Re: pam update causes cron to stop working with "Module is unknown" error

[Marc Deslauriers]

@Chris: in your situation, downgrading the package to the previous
version should work around the issue until we publish updated pam
packages.

Title:
  pam update causes cron to stop working with "Module is unknown" error

Status in “pam” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Upgrading libpam-modules from 1.1.1-4ubuntu1 to 1.1.1-4ubuntu2.2, cron stopped working, just gives a log message "Module is unknown". This happened during unattended-upgrades this night, so there might be a lot of people who didn't realize that yet.
  Downgrading to 1.1.1-4ubuntu1 fixes this.
  Ubuntu 10.10 amd64, almost vanilla, fresh, minimum install + java (ppa) + postgresql9 (ppa).
