Package: cracklib-runtime Version: 2.8.12-2 Severity: normal
The following report has been reported in Ubuntu's Launchpad as LP #304307: I installed libpam-cracklib then a bunch of wordlists. Running the cracklib-runtime daily cron script does not update the dictionary in /var/cache/cracklib. Turns out that the cron job calls /usr/sbin/update-cracklib, which compares the mod times of wordlist files to the dictionary in /var/cache/cracklib and does not include the wordlist unless it is newer than the dictionary. Makes sense except that the timestamps on the newly installed dictionaries do not reflect when they were installed but rather when they were packaged. Workaround is to delete the files in /var/cache/cracklib and rebuild from scratch using the cron job. The bug applies to Debian too and has been introduced in version 2.8.12-2 by the fix for #380546. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
