sounds like a broken file to me,

try:

rpm -V cracklib-dicts

and see whether theres any broken files from that package.

you may want to run package-cleanup --problems just in case somehow
happened missing dependencies ..

Yes, You're right. That was the case. Reinstalling cracklib-dicts solved this.

I wonder why this files were corrupted?
Anyway, thanks a lot!

No idea myself, broken packages happens several times a year with me
.. So i make it a habit to verify my installed RPMs before concluding
something is a bug ... I'm guessing it might be interrupted
transactions, harddisk problem, some other apps did modification and
break stuff (eg: the daily prelink) .. or ..a hidden bug somewhere in
rpm or yum which couldn't be easily reproduced ...
