Seems like this was copy/pasted from the wrong error :-)

Also, as we discussed during the meeting, it seems like we want to:

- Move this select to the refpolicy package

- Handle it as a "soft select" that selects linux-pam if possible, to
  not have some crazy dependencies for a quite corner case (using
  SELinux non a non-glibc system, with a toolchain missing
  locale/wchar, etc.)

Could you rework according to our discussion?

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
