Package: plasma-workspace Version: 4:6.7.2-3 upgrading from previous version (4:6.7.2-2) gives Setting up plasma-workspace (4:6.7.2-4)… (pam_mount.c:166): conv->conv(...): Conversation error (pam_mount.c:471): warning: could not obtain password interactively either (pam_mount.c:166): conv->conv(...): Conversation error (pam_mount.c:471): warning: could not obtain password interactively either (pam_mount.c:532): *** PAM_MOUNT WAS INVOKED WITH INSUFFICIENT PRIVILEGES. (euid=1000) (pam_mount.c:534): *** THIS IS A BUG OF THE CALLER. CONSULT YOUR DISTRO. (pam_mount.c:535): *** Also see bugs.txt in the pam_mount source tarball/website documentation. (spawn.c:124): error setting uid to 0: Operation not permitted (pam_mount.c:166): conv->conv(...): Conversation error it is a bit annoying to recover because it keeps on looping on the error it doesn't let you stop the process unless you close the terminal and you really have to disable pam mount to dpkg --configure -a and continue the installation/setup process. vi /etc/pam.d/common-session and disable pam mount from another terminal same problem upgrading from 4:6.7.2-3 -> 4:6.7.2-4
