In Ubuntu 16.04, the libpam-mysql package does not work. It crashes with the below error:

PAM unable to dlopen(pam_mysql.so): /lib/security/pam_mysql.so: undefined symbol: make_scrambled_password

I fixed this issue by download the source for the package and applying the patches that come from this source RPM:

http://dinofly.com/files/linux/pam_mysql-0.7-0.20.rc1.fc23.src.rpm

I then created unofficial packages after applying the patch. They can be downloaded here:

http://www.dinofly.com/files/linux/libpam-mysql_0.7~RC1-4ubuntu3_amd64.deb
http://www.dinofly.com/files/linux/libpam-mysql_0.7~RC1-4ubuntu3_i386.deb

libpam-mysql now works again on Ubuntu 16.04 x86 and x64.

Here is the initial RedHat bug report:
