[Bug 278743] Re: libpam-cracklib cannot find cracklib_dict.pwd after install
You're right, update-cracklib is called in postinst. update-cracklib fails if /etc/cracklib/cracklib.conf doesn't exist: if [ -r /etc/cracklib/cracklib.conf ] then . /etc/cracklib/cracklib.conf else echo Error: cannot read configuration file /etc/cracklib/cracklib.conf exit 1 fi maybe this error was ignored by the postinst script in the version currently in Ubuntu. 2.8.13-1 (in Debian Sid) adds a set -e to postinst which should stop this wrong behavior. Another reason for this problem could be a missing dictionary (no dictionary package installed at the machine). The cracklib dictionary is built from the dictionaries installed and user dictionaries in /usr/local/share/dict /usr/local/dict by default. -- libpam-cracklib cannot find cracklib_dict.pwd after install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 278743] Re: libpam-cracklib cannot find cracklib_dict.pwd after install
The bug may occur if no dictionary is installed at the system or update- cracklib has not been called at least once. The post-install script of cracklib-runtime should call update-cracklib for this purpose. Cracklib- runtime contains a cron.daily job that calls update-cracklib, but postinst should use it too. -- libpam-cracklib cannot find cracklib_dict.pwd after install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 278743] Re: libpam-cracklib cannot find cracklib_dict.pwd after install
I saw this problem once, but afterwards was not able to reproduce it. It's a bug in cracklib2 rather than in pam; libpam-cracklib depends on cracklib-runtime, which should take care of setting this all up at install time. Hopefully someone who knows more about the cracklib package can debug this. ** Changed in: cracklib2 (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: pam = cracklib2 -- libpam-cracklib cannot find cracklib_dict.pwd after install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
