Summary0000201: Try to update password fails due to missing file
DescriptionI've tried to update a password on a newly created user. Doing this fails due to missing /usr/share/cracklib/pw_dict.

There's a solution/workaround on redhat site, that didn't work for me. Finally figured out how to make it work.
Steps To ReproduceExecuted echo "XXXXX" | passwd --stdin usuario .

Got this messages

Changing password for user usuario.
/usr/share/cracklib/pw_dict: error reading header
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully

Additional InformationA fix or workarround that works is reinstallng both crackib and libpwquality

dnf reinstall libpwquality cracklib-dicts

We are unable to reproduce this issue on multiple systems.

There isn't a /usr/share/cracklib/pw_dict file, but rather pw_dict.hwm/pwd/pwi. On a brand new system, password changes using echo "somepassword" | passwd --stdin operate as expected.

As there is a valid work around and the issue is resolved, this will be closed. If this issue becomes reproducible in some form and can be repeated on multiple machines, please open a new bug with reproduction steps (including any dnf commands and installation information)
