The log output shows that you have pam_tally or pam_tally2 in your pam
configuration. The preinst fails in order to save you from upgrading
and breaking your system, leaving you with a configuration referencing
an obsolete pam module.
The message says:
you are using pam_tally or pam_tally2 in your configuration
The pam_tally and pam_tally2 modules have been removed from PAM. You are using
one of these
modules in your PAM configuration in /etc/pam.d. You must remove the uses of
these modules
before PAM can be upgraded; including these modules in your PAM configuration
after the
upgrade will stop users from being able to log into the system.
Consider the pam_faillock module as a replacement for pam_tally.
The fact that this message was shown to you via the pam preinst script
also indicates that you were not using ubuntu-release-upgrader, the
recommended way to upgrade between Ubuntu releases. On servers, please
upgrading using 'sudo do-release-upgrade'. On desktops, please use
'update-manager'.
