[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#1086182: passwd: Can't change the password because the lack of a dictionary

[Bruno dos Santos]

Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.16.0-4
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: b.dossantos at scalefusion.com

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
	I just tried to change the root password. The final idea is to deploy a script to change root password in bulk, to many machines at once. 
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
	I tried this command:
	echo "bruno:amjr0000" | sudo chpasswd
   * What was the outcome of this action?
	/var/cache/cracklib/cracklib_dict.pwd: No such file or directory
	BAD PASSWORD: The password fails the dictionary check - error loading dictionary
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
	I expected the password would change.
*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***
