Package: dictionaries-common
Version: 0.25.12

I wanted enhanced security and so commented out the standard line in
/etc/pam.d/common-password:

password   required   pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=8 md5

and uncommented the last two lines:

password required         pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=7 difok=3
password required         pam_unix.so use_authtok nullok md5


this requires installation of libpam-cracklib, which recommends
(actually it may require but I'm not sure) a wordlist like wamerican.
so i ran:

# apt-get install libpam-cracklib wamerican-large

but the installation fails due to dependency issues.  it looks as though
dictionaries-common might be causing this based on the error message:

"dpkg: error processing dictionaries-common (--configure)
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
...
...
wcatalan depends on dictionaries-common...
 Package dictionaries-common is not configured yet


by the way, not sure why it always wants to use wcatalan, even when an
alternate wordlist like wamerican-large is specifically chosed.  it also
seems like a bizarre default wordlist to use, given the language of the
OS.
