[Bug 1871960] Re: package libpam-modules 1.1.8-3.6ubuntu2.18.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: pre-dependency problem - not installing libpam-modules:amd64

[Steve Langasek]

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to
improve Ubuntu.

This is a serious class of upgrade failure, but unfortunately the bug
report as filed doesn't contain enough information to reproduce or debug
it.  How did you do the update to 20.04?  Was this using apt from the
commandline, or do-release-upgrade or update-manager?

If you used do-release-upgrade or update-manager, can you please attach
the full /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-term.log from your system?
