Package: pwgen Version: 2.06-1+b1 Severity: important Hi!
When using "pwgen -s 1 50" to generate 50 one-char passwords, only lowercase letters are used. When using "pwgen -s 2 50" to generate 50 two-char passwords, exactly one lowercase letter and one number is used. Three-char and longer passwords are not affected by this major security issue.
