Package: gnome-control-center Version: 1:3.14.2-3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Using Debian Jessie, I'm trying to change the password of my own user using the user interface provided by gnome-control-center. The current implementation seams to enforce security. I cannot enter a weak password. For our needs, a strong password is not an option. Also, I don't think it the responsibility of the control-center to ensure strongnest of the password. It's PAM's responsibility. I'm strongly suggesting to change the current behaviour. You may warn the user if the password is weak, but let the user do want he want. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gnome-control-center depends on: ii accountsservice 0.6.37-3+b1 ii apg 2.2.3.dfsg.1-2 ii colord 1.2.1-1+b2 ii desktop-file-utils 0.22-1 ii gnome-control-center-data 1:3.14.2-3 ii gnome-desktop3-data 3.14.1-1 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.12.0-1 ii gnome-icon-theme-symbolic 3.12.0-1 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.14.2-3 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.14.1-1 ii libaccountsservice0 0.6.37-3+b1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.14.0-1 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.14.0-2.1 ii libcairo2 1.14.0-2.1 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.30-2.1 ii libcanberra0 0.30-2.1 ii libcheese-gtk23 3.14.1-2 ii libcheese7 3.14.1-2 ii libclutter-1.0-0 1.20.0-1 ii libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 1.6.0-1 ii libcolord-gtk1 0.1.25-1.1+b1 ii libcolord2 1.2.1-1+b2 ii libcups2 1.7.5-11+deb8u1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.102-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.3 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.31.1-2+b1 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 10.3.2-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.1-1 ii libgnome-bluetooth13 3.14.0-2 ii libgnome-desktop-3-10 3.14.1-1 ii libgoa-1.0-0b 3.14.2-1 ii libgoa-backend-1.0-1 3.14.2-1 ii libgrilo-0.2-1 0.2.11-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.14.5-1 ii libgtop2-7 2.28.5-2+b1 ii libibus-1.0-5 1.5.9-1 ii libkrb5-3 1.12.1+dfsg-19 ii libmm-glib0 1.4.0-1 ii libnm-glib-vpn1 0.9.10.0-7 ii libnm-glib4 0.9.10.0-7 ii libnm-gtk0 0.9.10.0-2 ii libnm-util2 0.9.10.0-7 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-8 ii libpulse-mainloop-glib0 5.0-13 ii libpulse0 5.0-13 ii libpwquality1 1.2.3-1 ii libsmbclient 2:4.1.17+dfsg-2 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.48.0-1 ii libupower-glib3 0.99.1-3.2 ii libwacom2 0.8-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii libxi6 2:1.7.4-1+b2 ii libxml2 2.9.1+dfsg1-5 Versions of packages gnome-control-center recommends: ii cracklib-runtime 2.9.2-1 ii cups-pk-helper 0.2.5-2+b1 ii gkbd-capplet 3.6.0-1 ii gnome-online-accounts 3.14.2-1 ii gnome-user-guide 3.14.1-1 ii gnome-user-share 3.14.0-2 ii iso-codes 3.57-1 ii libnss-myhostname 0.3-9 ii mesa-utils 8.2.0-1 ii mousetweaks 3.12.0-1 ii network-manager-gnome 0.9.10.0-2 ii policykit-1-gnome 0.105-2 ii realmd 0.15.1-1+b2 ii rygel 0.24.2-1+b1 ii system-config-printer 1.4.6-1 Versions of packages gnome-control-center suggests: ii gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio 1.4.4-2 ii libcanberra-gtk-module 0.30-2.1 ii libcanberra-gtk3-module 0.30-2.1 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7+3+b1 -- no debconf information
