PAM adding faulty module: /usr/lib/security/pam_tally.so [solved]

I have a systemd service called kodi.service that gives status output like this

Sep 18 05:44:08 batcave systemd[1]: Started Kodi standalone (X11).
Sep 18 05:44:08 batcave systemd[49757]: PAM unable to dlopen(/usr/lib/security/pam_tally.so): /usr/lib/security/pam_tally.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Sep 18 05:44:08 batcave systemd[49757]: PAM adding faulty module: /usr/lib/security/pam_tally.so
Sep 18 05:44:08 batcave systemd[49757]: pam_unix(login:session): session opened for user kodi(uid=989) by (uid=0)

I dont have any pacnew files that I forgot to merge which solved someones forum question. I reinstalled pam but I still get the output. What can be done to fix the missing module?

pacnew or not, something references the module.

grep -ir tally /etc/pam.d/

Hi seth. It has references

grep -ir tally /etc/pam.d/
/etc/pam.d/login:auth		required	pam_tally.so onerr=succeed file=/var/log/faillog

I deleted that file and reinstalled util-linux to get the package file and now the no errors are there in the service. Thanks to you for this advice.
