Title:
  security update broke module import in libpam-python, "from httplib2
  import Http" fails now

Status in pam-python package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in pam-python source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released
Status in pam-python source package in Bionic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I glanced at the libpam-python 1.0.4-1.1+deb8u1build0.16.04.1 diff
  but it wasn't immediately obvious - why does this security update
  break importing httplib2 ?  Other more standard imports like sys, os,
  datetime, don't seem to be a problem.  Does this update change or
  restrict the python module paths?

  Here's the error that shows up in /var/log/auth.log
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/lib/security/pam_pacauth.py", line 18, in <module>
       from httplib2 import Http
   ImportError: No module named httplib2

  Here's line 18 from my pam module:
  from httplib2 import Http

  To reproduce this  ( on 16.04 ) just install httplib2 using:
  pip2 install httplib2
  and then try to use a python pam module with this line in it:
  from httplib2 import Http

  With the older 1.0.4-1 version this has worked just fine for the past
  4 years.
