Comment 1 for bug 256238

This bug is resolved in the latest Debian version of pam, 1.0.1-5, which has been merged into jaunty as pam 1.0.1-5ubuntu1. Changelog:

pam (1.0.1-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Build-conflict with libxcrypt-dev, which otherwise pulls libxcrypt in as
    a dependency of libpam-modules if it's installed during the build.
    Thanks to Larry Doolittle for catching.
  * Don't refer to gnome-screensaver in the debconf template; it isn't
    actually affected by the libpam symbol issue because it forks a separate
    process to display the screensaver dialog.
  * Have libpam-modules Pre-Depend on ${misc:Depends}, so that we can
    warn users about needing to disable xscreensaver and xlockmore
    before libpam-modules is unpacked. Closes: #502140, LP: #256238.
  * Updated debconf translations for the new template:
