thanks, diff applied to 1.3-r1 please test
After some testing, I have found that: * the patch works, i.e. incorporates extra.words into cracklib dictionary and removes cat: no such file message during cracklib build; * it does not solve the problem with passwd failing. Additionally: * passwd fails only if cracklib was built inside of chroot environment and only with specific passwords (they are not weird or bad, just specific, and I just happened to use them) * emerge cracklib after restart into the installed system solved the problem I used Gentoo 1.4_rc2 livecd+grp for pentium3 for installation but not booting form cd. I used existing Slackware system to setup a build environment. I don't know if the problem comes up when booting from cd, nor if the problem persists with 1.4_rc3. If I have time, I'll check that.
