Bug#941853: crypt(3) should be provided by libxcrypt



Package: glibc
Version: 2.29-2
Severity: normal

The libc implementation of crypt(3) has been deprecated since 2.28.
libxcrypt is needed to support modern hashing algorithms.

How do you want to coordinate switching to libxcrypt?

The libxcrypt implementation is source and binary backward compatible, 
so no transitions are needed. I think that we only need to coordinate 
Replaces/Depends.

The libxcrypt package lives in https://salsa.debian.org/md/libxcrypt .

It has been in Fedora since over one year:
