Try running:

ldd /var/tmp/portage/pam-0.78-r2/image/lib/security/pam_cracklib*.so

That should turn up what library is linked in /usr instead of /lib.  My guess 
is probably libcrypt.so, but might be libpam as well...

I just had this problem while upgrading an older desktop. What's happening 
is... you updated cracklib to version 2.80 which installed it's libraries 
under /usr/lib and the install scripts left an old 2.70 cracklib library 
under /usr. 

Look under /usr and then under /usr/lib. Checking  tobe certain that cracklib 
2.80 is indeed installed on  your computer. Then delete the old *crack* stuff 
from /usr.  Pam will now install correctly.

Cheers.
