Hello, I would like to know more about the environment the error occurs in:
1.) is the package cracklib-runtime and some wordlist package installed?
2.) are the files /var/cache/cracklib/cracklib_dict.{hwm,pwd,pwi} available?
python-cracklib depends on cracklib-runtime and thus should have the necessary
files available. cracklib-runtime only recommends wamerican | wordlist so may
be you don't have a wordlist package installed if your apt configuration is
modified to not install recommends.
A bug fix to the upstream code would break the current API and can not be
introduced without changing reverse dependencies. I think this would be much
too late for Wheezy.
Best regards,
Jan Dittberner
