Package: libpam-runtime Version: 1.1.1-6 Severity: important Hello,
Nick (Cced) has an issue when installing Debian, at PAM module selection, which loops with "No PAM profiles have been selected" messages. The way to reproduce is the following: - boot a fresh zeroed-disk machine with the debian installer in expert mode (to set debconf level to low and thus get back to the main menu at each installation step). - proceed installation as usual up to installing the base system. - as soon as the base system is installed (the main menu of the debian installer is shown and thus the target is not busy), run chroot /target dpkg-reconfigure debconf and select the low debconf level. - get back to the main menu, continue installation and select the standard system and desktop tasks. - continue installation (download/install/configure, answer questions), up to the libpam-gnome-keyring package configuration (which is quite late). libpam-runtime's configuration will be invoked since libpam-gnome-keyring provides a new module. The configuration box proposes to select among the 3 now-installed modules, but whatever the selection that you validate, you always end up with the "No PAM profiles have been selected." error message, there is no way out except hard-rebooting. This happens with at least both the text and dialog frontend. My guess is that at that stage the libpam-runtime configuration misses something which makes pam-auth-update tight-loop.
