Package: libpam-unix2
Version: 2.5.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

libpam-unix2 is broken when used with blowfish passwords. Neither
users nor root can change passwords, and the module complains that
it's been compiled without blowfish support:

# passwd dhess
New UNIX password: 
Retype new UNIX password: 
crypt_r: Don't know 0
Error: Password NOT changed.
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd: password unchanged

Syslog output:
Jun 22 07:26:49 [passwd] pam_unix2(passwd:chauthtok): Unknown option: `blowfish'
                - Last output repeated 5 times -
Jun 22 07:27:37 [passwd] pam_unix2(passwd:chauthtok): No blowfish support 
compiled in

Password auth (e.g., via sudo) works fine, strangely enough.

blowfish passwords were working fine prior to the recent package
update, and the PAM configuration on this machine hasn't changed.
