Package: libpam-cracklib
Version: 0.79-3.1
Severity: normal
We recently installed several dictionaries and activated
pam_cracklib to get stronger passwords. During testing,
we found that we couldn't change passwords --
$ passwd
Changing password for thumper
(current) UNIX password:
New UNIX password:
(index fread failed): Success
cracklib: corrupt dictionary, exiting
when choosing a password that was likely to be validated.
By modifying /etc/cracklib/cracklib.conf, I was able
to narrow down the problem to the "mueller7-mova"
and "mueller7accent-mova" packages. Once I removed
these packages (and reran "update-cracklib"), the problem
went away.
