Bug 1027310

Additional information:

When using
pwgen -B
pwgen -B -c

the above issue does not occur. Obviously the combined usage of -B and -n is the actual problem.

Is https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/pwgen-2.07-1.el6 any beter?

pwgen-2.07-3 isn't any better.  And, the '-v' option does not work as I would expect either.

pwgen-2.08-1 from Fedora 29 works as expected.

Summary     : Automatic password generation
Description :
pwgen generates random, meaningless but pronounceable passwords. These
passwords contain either only lowercase letters, or upper and lower case, or
upper case, lower case and numeric digits. Upper case letters and numeric
digits are placed in a way that eases memorizing the password.
