Lintian tag information: obsolete-crypt-alias (type: error)
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
The listed ELF binary appears to use the C library function fcrypt, which
is a less-portable alias for crypt. Programs that use this function cannot
be linked against the libcrypt.so provided by glibc 2.28 and higher. . The
program should be changed to use crypt instead. . A false positive for
this check is possible if the binary expects the definition of fcrypt to
come from some shared library other than libcrypt.so, *and* that shared
library defines this function to do something other than hash passphrases.
If this is the case it is appropriate to override this tag.
