I have tried to reproduce the problem (although with no changes in /etc/pam.d/common-password, I do not expect the problem be there) and I did not get that "dpkg: error processing dictionaries-common (--configure) Please try # dpkg-reconfigure dictionaries-common or reinstalling doctionaries-common from scratch and see if that works. If so, there was some temporary problem in your system. If not, please send the full typescript to the bug address. > 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. That is not the default anywhere, wamerican having priority standard should be selected prior to other wordlists having priority optional (and to wcatalan which has priority extra). Furthermore I can only reproduce this wcatalan choice with apt-get, not with dselect (which marks wamerican as expected). This seems an apt bug. Things are even funnier, with testing, putting wamerican-large before I get # apt-get install wamerican-large libpam-cracklib Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: cracklib-runtime cracklib2 dictionaries-common Suggested packages: ispell Recommended packages: wenglish wordlist The following NEW packages will be installed: cracklib-runtime cracklib2 dictionaries-common libpam-cracklib wamerican-large and do not try to pull wcatalan, while putting it at the end of command line I get apt-get install libpam-cracklib wamerican-large Reading package lists...
