[Bug 1349252] Re: crypt(3) lacks Blowfish support

Tue Nov 19 14:25:28 UTC 2019

Has there been any progress on this more than five year old topic?
The glibc of the long time supported 18.04.3 LTS still has no support for BLF-CRYPT. I saw that from debian-side blowfish is still not supported but some distros add it by themselves. Why not ubuntu?
