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

[Colin Watson]

Chris: If necessary, previous versions can always be downloaded manually
from Launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/pam/1.1.1-2ubuntu5.1 and
follow the appropriate link under "Builds".  (Obviously not ideal but
may help as a stopgap.)

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).
