Did you run 

  python-updater

after 2.6 -> 2.7 upgrade?

Yes, I did

[Comment 6 tangram 2010-12-03 21:27:55 UTC]

Yes, I did

Did you try to emerge cracklib with ccache being disabled?

[Comment 8 tangram 2010-12-03 21:57:58 UTC]

No, I did not. I will try to emerge without ccache enabled. Hm btw, how can I temporaryli disable ccache ? 

[Comment 9 tangram 2010-12-03 22:14:50 UTC]

With:
export CCACHE_DISABLE=1
emerge -v sys-libs/cracklib
same error.

[Comment 10 tangram 2010-12-03 22:30:04 UTC]

I was not sure whether export environment variable ( export CCACHE_DISABLE=1
) is the right way to stop using ccache. I done it with keyword FEATURES="-ccache" in my /etc/make.conf and repeated cracklib build again - without success :(

Had the same error.
I ran eselect python set python2.7
And once again ran python-updater. After this cracklib successfully established.

Alexander thank you very much for your very, very helpful tip.
That was it.
However, remains master know-how to me why I had to call twice python-updater.
I tell allways my wife: twice is beter then once ;) ... but this is another story.

Could someone change the bug status to solved - please.

sys-libs/cracklib-2.8.18 already has dependency on dev-python/setuptools.
Reinstall dev-python/setuptools.
