Bug#723050: kscreensaver does not validate correct user password anymore
Package: kscreensaver
Version: 4:4.10.5-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer,
After an upgrade this morning of packages xscreensaver (amd64 5.15-3)
and kscreensaver (amd64 4:4.10.5-2) I cannot unlock the screensaver
(both kscreensaver and xscreensaver) when I input the correct password.
However 'sudo' through SSH from another host does still accept the same
password.
It did worked before upgrade.
In /var/log/auth.log I get these messages:
# xscreensaver
