[Bug 2013217] Re: package libpam0g:amd64 1.3.1-5ubuntu4.6 failed to install/upgrade: installed libpam0g:amd64 package post-installation script subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

[Steve Langasek]

"broken pipe" means the maintainer script died because the debconf
frontend exited abnormally (this is the only pipe we wait for).  This
isn't a bug in pam, it can't proceed with configuration if it doesn't
get sane answers for debconf.  What was the context in which you were
running the package upgrade?

** Changed in: pam (Ubuntu)
