That is a bug in nALFS, but not the bug you think it is.

See the 'W' at the beginning of the line about the 'db' package? That means it's a warning, and not the reason that the build was aborted.

In this case, the build was aborted because the cracklib package is not installed (or at least nALFS does not think it is), but the bug is that it does not actually tell you what the missing package(s) is/are.

Shouldn't nALFS create files in the stamps directory? It's empty...

Yes, but you have to tell it do so, either using the -S option on the command line or setting the proper option in the .nALFSrc file. You also have to ensure that every time you run it it uses the same stamp directory, which can be set also in the .nALFSrc file but also set using the NALFS_STAMP_DIR environment variable.
