The debconf prompt is shown and the systemd option is shown too, with the wording you gave above and a "[*]" to indicate that it is currently selected. Even when I go straight to the "Ok" prompt to complete the reconfiguration process without making any changes to the list of selected options, the systemd pam module is disabled. Next time I start dpkg-reconfigure, the systemd option is shown as "[ ]" instead of "[*]". I can select it and hit space to add a star, but this has no practical effect; it is still disabled next time I start dpkg-reconfigure. To re-enable the systemd pam module I have to run 'pam-auth-update --enable systemd'. Regards, Matthew -- ** email: m.foul...@blueyonder.co.uk phone: 07905 505676 **

Is the systemd option shown in the list of options?

Bug#923362: libpam-runtime: dpkg-reconfigure libpam-runtime disables systemd profile
Hi Steve, Thanks for your help. Tar archives of the contents of /var/lib/pam before and after running 'dpkg-reconfigure libpam-runtime' are attached as pam.before.tar and pam.after.tar. Before running 'dpkg-reconfigure libpam-runtime', the output of 'debconf-show libpam-runtime' is: libpam-runtime/title: libpam-runtime/conflicts: libpam-runtime/no_profiles_chosen: libpam-runtime/override: false * libpam-runtime/profiles: unix, systemd, gnome-keyring After running 'dpkg-reconfigure libpam-runtime' but making no changes, the output changes to: libpam-runtime/override: false libpam-runtime/no_profiles_chosen: libpam-runtime/conflicts: * libpam-runtime/profiles: unix, gnome-keyring libpam-runtime/title: Running 'pam-auth-update --enable systemd' restores the original debconf output. The computer was installed only this weekend using the latest Debian Buster alpha installer. The 'debsums -ce' command says that all configuration files are in their default states.
