Jeremy,

If you can run the script that I've provided at <http://people.ubuntu.com/~vorlon/meh>, this will fix the problem so that you can again log in and continue the upgrade.

Alternatively, from a rescue session you can simply replace "pam_deny" with "pam_permit" in /etc/pam.d/common-session, continue booting, then do the following:
1) open a root shell
2) rm /etc/pam.d/common-session
3) run pam-auth-update --force
4) upgrade

this should get you a pristine configuration with the new version of libpam-runtime installed.
