Title:
  pam_userdb.so is missing

Status in pam package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in pam source package in Noble:
  New
Status in pam package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The file is missing from libpam-modules.
  This breaks, for example, existing vsftp configs if it is configured to use pam_userdb.so

  Log:

  vsftpd: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_userdb.so): /usr/lib/security/pam_userdb.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  vsftpd: PAM adding faulty module: pam_userdb.so

  Apparently there was a change which removed this in the past, and it
  might be the removal has not been undone, while the package has been
  released nevertheless.

    * For now remove libdb-dev so that libdb-dev can undergo time_t
      transition.  That means this version of pam does not include
      pam_userdb, which makes pam unsuitable for release.
