Summary:                    lrm Linux-PAM always fails
Description: 
Because the lrm of Linux-PAM has a POST_REMOVE that forces a recompile of
PAM-aware modules, there exists a Catch-22. Namely
/var/state/lunar/packages is not updated until the lrm has completed but
the lrm can not complete as most all of the recompiles will fail. Some
modules need a lin -rc modulename to allow the user to deselect PAM. Other
modules use the "if module_installed Linux-PAM" code to test for the status
of PAM (and this also fails as packages still says Linux-PAM is installed
until the lrm completes successfully).
