Package: kdm
Version: 4.2.0-1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

When login into my shiny new KDE 4.2 kdm I got an error telling me that the 
login failed and a log has been written to /var/log/kdm.log

As it turned out the information in /var/log/kdm.log was rather useless except 
it's comment to also check the daemon.log file.

In /var/log/daemon.log I found:

Jan 29 19:22:07 deepThought kdm_greet[1322]: Cannot open default user face
Jan 29 19:30:58 deepThought kdm: :0[1316]: PAM error: Bad item passed to 
pam_*_item()
Jan 29 19:31:12 deepThought kdm: :0[1316]: PAM error: Bad item passed to 
pam_*_item()

I updated 3 PAM related packages and since I can login again. The 3 updates:

libpam-modules:  1.0.1-4        ->     1.0.1-5
libpam-runtime:   0.76-22       ->     1.0.1-5
libpam0g:              0.99.7.1-6   ->    1.0.1-5

Possibly there should be package dependency on at least 1 of these 3 packages 
in order to prevent that problem.
