Update snapshot 20240918 causing "screen locker is broken"problem

After a lot of experimentation, I have some interesting news.

For me, uninstalling pam_pkcs11 makes the issue go away, even when using the latest “broken” pam version 1.6.1-4.1.
Can anyone confirm this?

Edit: Don’t forget locking pam_pkcs11 after uninstalling, i.e. with
sudo zypper addlock pam_pkcs11
, or else it will be auto-reinstalled with the next update!

Can confirm, that works too!

Just a quick update:
Fabain Vogt managed to identify the exact problem over on bugzilla.
With that information I was able to make a patch and submitted that:

If all goes well and I didn’t screw up anything in the sumbit request, an official patch for pam_pkcs11 should be available in a few days.

Final Update: The bug should be resolved with openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240926 / pam_pkcs11 0.6.12-7.1.

This same screenlocker problem came to bite me in Slowroll. Is this patch pending in such distribution?

It’s announced, so on the mirrors.
