Package: pwgen
Version: 2.07-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I used "pwgen 8 1" to generate a single password. Copy-pasting this password
with triple click in xterm included the invisible space character before the
newline.
* What was the outcome of this action?
When pasting the output into the passwd command, a space was appended to the
password, which was unexpected. Thus logging in with the visible parts only
was not possible.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
For the special case of generating only one password, pwgen should not
append a space character to the password. This way triple clicking and
copy-pasting will work as expected.
A bit more information: pwgen seems to append a space to the last password
generated, which seems to be unnecessary. Fixing this will fix the one
password case too.
