ERROR 2059 (HY000): Authentication plugin 'dialog' cannot be loaded:

I'm trying to setup PAM authentication on Centos 6.5 and I'm getting the following error:

ERROR 2059 (HY000): Authentication plugin 'dialog' cannot be loaded: /usr/lib/mysql/plugin/dialog.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

A quick Google search shows an article on Percona's web site where they acknowledge that they didn't include the .so file in the client packages for Percona Server.

We've used the MaraDB CentOS repos and we don't have this file installed. Were could we get it ?
