Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve
Ubuntu.
Unfortunately the logs included in your report are incomplete and only
show the end state of the system:
dpkg: error processing package libpam-runtime (--configure):
package libpam-runtime is not ready for configuration
cannot configure (current status 'half-installed')
This does not tell us why this package entered this "half-installed"
state. Without more information, it's not possible to address this
failure.
Please provide logs showing the root failure, if you're able.
** Changed in: pam (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
