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.
