It looks like you've got 2.8.16-2.el6.i686 and are trying to load 
cracklib-2.8.16-4.el6.x86_64.  The difference in the versions (2.8.16-2 
vs 2.8.16-4) seems to be causing you a bit of a conflict.  Try a 'yum 
clean all' and yum update.  The 2.8.16-4.el6 versions of cracklib are 
available from the SL6.0 security repo.
