Much more detail needed. I saw no issue with the upgrade, and if others experienced it, we would have heard by now...

Re: [Solved] pam 1.3.1-2 to 1.4.0-2

Not certain this is the cause yet (have been too busy to look into it) but I've had the same issue after updating a day ago.

Neither my user account nor root will login from the main Linux prompt (not using a display manager)

In my journalctl I see "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"

Prior to login failure,
Which indeed appears not to exist.

I'm not certain what would call that module but will note that there is documentation included in the pam package, but the module itself is absent.

Have you merged the pacnew files?

Merge /etc/pam.d/system-login with it's .pacnew.

Yeah that fixed it.

I know it's my responsibility to pay attention to such things (I just did an update and then went to sleep without paying attention), but that is a rather unfortunate failure mode. (Though I guess anything dealing with login is always risky)

For those who don't have the `.pacnew` file, check if you have an unmerged `/etc/pam.d/login.pacnew`. Bizarrely I received no warning from pacman about this .pacnew file (I checked my pacman logs to confirm this). Merging this file fixed the issue for me.
The `login` file I had was from 2011!
