Title:
crypt(3) lacks Blowfish support
Status in “glibc” package
Using sha-crypt is not a solution. Certain apps are built to use
crypt(3) only and thus lack Blowfish support. You have 1 day to reopen
this bug or I will make a new one.

Alright, sorry for my rudeness and impatience. Granted, I am not
familiar with how these things are usually handled around here. I am
aware this is mainly an upstream issue, but from crypt(3)'s man page I
assumed distros are the ones who choose whether to implement Blowfish
support.
