It shouldn't (although I don't know which country you're referring to).

Let's use the U.S. as an example. When you apply for citizenship, you must be financially self sufficient. I.e. you cannot be a liability to the treasury.

Bankruptcy is not a crime. It is simply a tool of last resort, to shed your creditors. So it shouldn't prevent you from becoming a citizen. Unless you went bankrupt due to criminal proceedings of some sort (namely financial crimes of "moral turpitude").
