Bug#528610: chpasswd encrypted option is gone

[Jordi Pujol <jordipujolp@gmail.com>]

Package: user-setup
Version: 1.23
Severity: normal
Architecture: all

Hello,

The utility user-setup-apply uses the command:
chpasswd -e

Installing the new version of the passwd package ,
user-setup-apply does not work,

The package passwd has changed from version (1:4.1.3.1-1)
to (1:4.1.4-1)
and the option encrypted in chpasswd is not allowed now.

# chpasswd -h
Usage: chpasswd [options]

Options:
  -c, --crypt-method            the crypt method (one of NONE DES MD5 SHA256 
SHA512)
  -e, --encrypted               supplied passwords are encrypted
  -h, --help                    display this help message and exit
  -m, --md5                     encrypt the clear text password using
                                the MD5 algorithm
  -s, --sha-rounds              number of SHA rounds for the SHA*
                                crypt algorithms

# aptitude install passwd/unstable

# chpasswd -h
Usage: chpasswd [options]

Options:
  -h, --help                    display this help message and exit

Thanks,

Jordi
