Dear Maintainer,

After creating a new user I was unable to write/generate a user password with
'gnome-control-center user-accounts' without libpam-cracklib.
Writing any password is marked as insufficient and clicking on the gears in the
text
field in order to generate one makes gnome-control-center crash.
After installing libpam-cracklib everything seems to work.

Find attached the log of gnome-control-center with libpam-cracklib not
installed.

Cheers.

gnome-control-center is the wrong package for this.

That said, libpwquality has a dependency on libcracklib which in turn
recommends cracklib-runtime.
My guess is you didn't install that recommends.
libpam-cracklib is not required.

I'm inclined to close this bug report.

(btw, there was no log attached)
