"line 78 faillock: command not found" anyone got any ideas?

I upgraded whonix from terminal and now I can not start the workstation.
Gateway starts fine, but workstation starts with username and password (which it has never asked for before).

Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried user and changeme, but it does not seem to work.

Did you uninstall a meta package? →


That might just be a symptom. pam-info shouldn’t break anything. Too many failed login attempts? →

Can you login in a virtual console? →

Can you login in recovery console? →

(Whonix is based on Kicksecure.)

Is faillock installed? To check:

sudo which faillock

(Requires a login to virtual console or recovery console to check or more complicated options I hope we won’t need.)
