I know, I'm quite late, but I have exactly the same problem just now on a old server and I'm heavily patching pam_cracklib.
Could you please post your solution? Just the line with pam_get_item, it should be enough.
I'm using debian wheezy.
It sound strange to me that nobody else had this problem.
I'm frustrated because I can't nothing about this, this is the first post I see!
Thanks
