I couldn't login, I couldn't get out of gnome-screensaver's lock, I couldn't ssh in, and I couldn't start up the computer in runlevel 3 or 5 any more. In the end I managed to resolve it by booting into runlevel 1, going into /var/cache/yum/development/packages and manually running: rpm -Uvh pam*.rpm It appears as though yum only partially updated pam, removing /lib/libpam.so.0.80 but something went seriously wrong before it was able to install the new libpam.so. I hope that anyone else that has this problem can use this information to repair their system. n0dalus. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
