Public bug reported: pam_userdb uses Berkeley DB, which has been disfavored for over a decade at this point:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/06/msg00328.html I believe 26.04 LTS should not include pam_userdb. If someone desperately needs a similar facility, then one of the other fine choices (sqlite3, lmdb, tokyo cabinet, more?) could serve as the foundation for a new PAM database module. However, I suspect there's very little call for a local-only highly-performant database that scales into the millions or billions of users.
