Hi Balint,

dpkg -i libpam-runtime* will throws an error cause it trys to symlink pam.7.gz 
to PAM.7.gz since Windows filesystem is case*in*sensitive this both files are 
the same and so the symlink will get refused cause the file already exists.
So apt upgrade won't work on Windows. Maybe there is also a Windows way to 
upgrade Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) but since apt tools are working it 
should be fix IMHO.

So if there is no reason behind "PAM && pam"  it would be good if it
will be removed. If there is a reason maybe the postinstall scripts
could generate the symlink after checking that it is a casesensitive fs.

Thanks for the msdn link. I will check if it works. This might be a
solution, cause other linux packages might have the same issue.

Markus

Title:
  pam.7.gz is a symlink to PAM.7.gz . This does not work for
  caseinsensitive filesystems e.g. Windows Subsystem for Linux
