[Bug 1681231] Re: package cracklib-runtime 2.9.2-3 failed to install/upgrade: dependency problems - leaving triggers unprocessed

[Markus Birth]

The error message is:

    Preparing to unpack .../bash_4.4-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb ...
    Unpacking bash (4.4-2ubuntu1) over (4.3-15ubuntu1) ...
    Processing triggers for plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text (0.9.2-3ubuntu15) ...
    update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
    dpkg: dependency problems prevent processing triggers for cracklib-runtime:
     cracklib-runtime depends on file; however:
      Package file is not configured yet.

    dpkg: error processing package cracklib-runtime (--configure):
     dependency problems - leaving triggers unprocessed


And then that error about the dependency problem with cracklib-runtime repeats over and over until it aborts because of "too many errors".

Bug description:
  This seems to be the same problem as described in bug #1636262, only
  this time it happened during upgrade from 16.10 to 17.04. The setup
