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
Zin Slan, what does
ls -l /usr/share/dict
dpkg -l |grep /usr/share/dict
show you? How did you install this system?

Hi Jan,
Since you're subscribed to this bug, I'll post the debdiff here rather
than filing a new one in the Debian BTS, if that's ok with you. :) The
problem is a subtle bashism in update-cracklib, and this patch fixes it
for me.

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

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.
