Package: cracklib-runtime Version: 2.8.15-5 Severity: normal Hi,
I just ran "apt-get build-dep netatalk" to install the Build-Depends of the netatalk package on why system and wondered why the wfinnish package was installed along with them. Running "aptitude why wfinnish" revealed that your cracklib-runtime package recommends to install a virtual wordlist package and apt has chosen wfinnish as the first random package to fullfill this requirement. I know for sure that it's considered a bug if a package *depends* on a virtual package without a real alternative, but in this case (recommends are installed automatically) I think it is just as bad. Please add a reasonable default package as an alternative to recommends, e.g. "wamerican | wordlist".
