Bug Description
After todays update of Orca to version 3.1.91-0ubuntu3 my /etc/pam.
../../.
This made logging in to the system impossible.
Workaround:
Boot in recovery mode and run pam-auth-update as root.
I'm marking it as security vulnerability as this update altered conf file with authentication settings used by all services.
