Description of problem: Please drop (or rename) the mkpasswd binary, since the "whois" package ships a more powerful variant of this. The mkpasswd utility from the "expect" package is not more then a simple tcl wrapper around "/usr/bin/passwd". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): any Additional info: The mkpasswd binary from the "whois" package is currently the only tool, that supports most of the new and stronger passphrase hashes supplied by libxcrypt.
Thanks, I didn't know about mkpasswd from whois. I would rather go with rename, because I consider mkpasswd from expect more like example expect script for educational purpose (one of many shipped within expect), than useful program.
I've renamed the script to 'mkpasswd-expect' in Rawhide (expect-5.45.4-8.fc30). In my opinion it's not worth to propagate the change into older Fedora releases. 'whois-mkpasswd' can be renamed to 'mkpasswd' in Rawhide, it shouldn't conflict with expect anymore.
Thanks. I renamed whois-mkpasswd package to mkpasswd in F30.
