I noticed recently that I could no longer launch cinnamon-settings. Running it
from the command-line shows this stacktrace:

$ cinnamon-settings
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/modules/cs_user.py", line 4, in 
<module>
     import pam
   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pam/__init__.py", line 9, in <module>
     from .__internals import PAM_ACCT_EXPIRED
   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pam/__internals.py", line 2, in <module>
     import six
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'six'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Installing python3-pam solves the issue.

Hi, cinnamon have python3-pampy in the deps (cs_user.py support both pam and pampy), so I don't understand how is possible And the other trace above show missed six but seems related to python-pampy package that seem to have missed dep (python3-six) Anyway I'll check the minimal cinnamon installation in a clean environment when I'll have time
