OK, great to hear you found an easy workaround for this.

Well, in T2 things are build automatically - just coping some files form 
somewhere is not a viable “solution” for us.

Also the .iso image is already a bit “old”, so a full, new release with 
ten-thousands of updates form the current t2/trunk is overdue, …

The problem was anyway only because the last stable ISOs where cross compiled. 
Historically we native compiled the ISOs and there this cracklib problem did 
not exist. However, building on 270 MHz UltraSAPRC and ARM boards not much 
faster is not much fun. This is while I implemented more and more cross 
compilation in T2 half a decade ago, to cross compile even whole “desktop / 
server”-class ISOs.

Anyway, this cracklib directory problem is now finally fixed in trunk - among a 
ton of other random fixes I spotted on some massive release (cross)-builds.

Well, thanks, however, I have an (upgraded to 1.2 GHz) G4 Cube and a dual-core 
2GHz G5 here myself.

The problem is mostly the lack of time to do all the detailed release build 
quality kind of fixes. Due to the thousands of updates in the T2 packages there 
always are quite many regressions due upstream package changes. From very 
trivial things of shared (clobbered) files of base packages like util-linux, to 
all kinds of other compiler, kernel, boot loader incompatibility of “esoteric” 
architectures, like sparc64, arm, mips, not to mention the all-new aarch64, 
which we call arm64, anyways.

My daily job keeps me already a little busy (http://exactcode.com), so this 
kind of rather “boring” fixing others developers obscure regression and 
incompatibilities are usually delayed quite some time on my side (in the hope 
they go away themselves, or a rather rainy weekend day, …).

I hope you enjoy T2, my server is busy cross compiling ISOs that I can 
hopefully share soon.

Greetings from Berlin,
