Always failing with message regarding cracklib-dicts? I would guess the
package on your current system is broken. Run

rpm -Vv cracklib-dicts

to see if it reports something strange.

$ rpm -Vv cracklib-dicts
........    /usr/lib/cracklib_dict.hwm
........    /usr/lib/cracklib_dict.pwd
........    /usr/lib/cracklib_dict.pwi
........    /usr/sbin/mkdict
........    /usr/sbin/packer

That would show a proper package.
