Severity: normal

pwgen 2.06-1 produce other results than 2.05-1 by using a hash-file
Is it a feature or a bug? It will be loss all my passwords after update 
- that is not a good idea.

Example test with create_secure:


#!/bin/bash
# file create_secure
if [ $# -eq 2 ] ; then
        BYTES=$2
else
        BYTES=17
fi
pwgen $BYTES -c -n -1 -y -B -H  ~/myfile.my#$1 -N 9 | tail -1
# filename must be chanced to a existing file
#-----end create_secure

Call this script with

./create_secure web.de
./create_secure web.de 25
or similarly.
