"login" is broken

Asked by Gabriel de O. Padoan

"login" is broken, afecting the aptitude/apt-get and user administration. I tried to configure with the comand line "dpkg --configure -a" command line, but he returns an error that is not possible to execute post-installation script (Exec format error).
"login" seems to be not correctly instaled/configured or corrupted.
I can't change passwords nor even install programs.
