Hi, it seems that for some reason cracklib has failed to generate
/var/cache/cracklib/cracklib_dict.pwd (or
/var/cache/cracklib/cracklib_dict.pwd.gz).

There is a daily cronjob that is supposed to regenerate
/var/cache/cracklib/cracklib_dict.pwd if the dictionaries it used as
input are newer. I'm not sure why it's not generating your file
correctly; you can manually run it via `sudo sh -xe  /usr/sbin/update-
cracklib` to see what's going wrong.

Also, for diagnostic purposes without needed to attempt to change the
passwd, you can do `echo PASSWD | cracklib-check` to see if it is
functioning correctly.

It would be good to work out how your system got in this state.
