Description ta2002 2019-06-16 02:28:40 UTC
Installing cracklib gives us:

/usr/lib/cracklib_dict.hwm
/usr/lib/cracklib_dict.pwd
/usr/lib/cracklib_dict.pwi

Yet these files don't appear in the "qlist cracklib" output, which causes portage to classify these files as orphans.

I believe this is by-design: those files are generated by the "create-cracklib-dict" in pkg_postinst.

The sysadmin is also able to run this program on-demand if they need to regenerate the dictionary after creating a custom word list.
