Leave out the -u - you already have the current version installed, so an
update does nothing. And re-emerge sys-apps/file while you are at it. I
would just issue this: emerge -1a sys-apps/file sys-libs/cracklib
This builds file and cracklib, using the new python - I assume you have a
newer version than 2.5.4-r3 installed? If not, I do not understand the
depclean message.
