Arch Linux

Description:

Upon updating pam to 1.4.0-3 (and pambase 20200721.1-2) I am no longer able to log in. The error message is as follows:


PAM unable to dlopen(/usr/lib/security/pam_tally2.so): /usr/lib/security/pam_tally2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Looking at the directory /usr/lib/security, there is in fact no pam_tally2.so after upgrade

Downgrading the machine allows me to log in.

Additional info:
* package version(s) PAM 1.4.0-3, Pambase 20200721.1-2
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:

Upgrade to 1.4.0-3. Try to log in.

Because this doesn't seem reported yet I assume that it's not widespread and affects my machine owing to something about it's paticular configuration, but I don't know what that would be. I have not updated any of my pam configs manually.


Here is a more complete log. Note that this shows a login via ssh, but I am not able to log into the console either.
