[SOLVED] schroot - Authentication failure; after System Update

Hi

I am having problem to run Debian and Ubuntu; after updating the system today:

schroot -c machine1
E: PAM error: Authentication failure

I also cannot use schroot of the Root; with same error.

As I recall; I never configured anything in PAM, till now!

Thankyou

Re: [SOLVED] schroot - Authentication failure; after System Update

Hi

I think found the cause in /var/log/pacman.log:

[2019-02-09 12:49] [ALPM] upgraded pambase (20171006-1 -> 20190105.1-1)

Also to note:
[2019-02-09 12:54] [ALPM] upgraded linux-lts (4.19.19-1 -> 4.19.20-1)

But I dont know much on the internals, yet!

Thankyou

Re: [SOLVED] schroot - Authentication failure; after System Update

Hi
I made a test by downgrading:

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/pambase-20171006-1-any.pkg.tar.xz 

Now the schroot works.

Please guide; should I file a bug report?

Thankyou

Re: [SOLVED] schroot - Authentication failure; after System Update

I think this is the same issue as https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=244101 , and my issue with opensmtpd (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/61696). It seems adding an /etc/pam.d/schroot is the expected solution. If so, a bug report on the schroot package is the way to go.
