[Bug 2012174] Re: package libpam-modules 1.3.1-5ubuntu4.6 failed to install/upgrade: new libpam-modules:amd64 package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2

[Steve Langasek]

ubuntu-release-upgrader 1:22.04.13 and later in Ubuntu 22.04 includes a
check to detect pam_tally's presence in /etc/pam.d and abort the upgrade
to let the user fix up their config beforehand.

If you are getting failures from libpam-modules during do-release-
upgrade, then this check is not correctly working for you.

Please attach the config files that reference pam_tally on the affected
system, so that we can debug.

** Package changed: pam (Ubuntu) => ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
