Solution! causing problems in dnf update to fc31
Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2019-10-31 12:29:26 UTC 
In preparation for the Python 2 EOL, we are removing all non-installable Python 2 packages:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Removing_non-installable_packages_from_the_distro

This bug is still in the NEW state and the package does not install. Please indicate you are working on a fix by setting the state to ASSIGNED. When this bug is four weeks in the NEW state, the package may be orphaned.

Note that you don't have to actually fix this right now, setting the bug to ASSIGNED will just mark this as being worked on, so I'll know it is being taken care of. If this happens too quickly, feel free to reach to me any time for help (with specific problems).

Thank You!

system-config-rootpassword-1.99.6-20.fc31 fails to install not only in rawhide but also in Fedora 31 while beeing present in f31 repos.  The same issue: "nothing provides python2-cracklib needed by system-config-rootpassword-1.99.6-20.fc31.noarch".  Makes for hiccups in upgrades if system-config-rootpassword happened to be installed previously.

Changelog for cracklib has the following entry:

* Fri Aug 09 2019 Tomáš Mráz <tmraz> - 2.9.6-21
- Drop Python 2 bindings completely

but it does not look like that Python 3 bindings were provided instead.

(In reply to Michal Jaegermann from comment #4)

> but it does not look like that Python 3 bindings were provided instead.

Yes, because if anything python3-pwquality should be used instead.

Attempt to try and get system-config-password working again

The patch changes several things:
  python2 -> python3
  cracklib -> pwquality
  gtk2 -> gtk3
  fixes a bug in textmode

Requires:       libuser-python3
Requires:       python3-pwquality
Requires:       python3-newt

The bug in textmode occurs with a non-english locale. If the user selects cancel, and the text in their language is different from "cancel", instead of returning, it executes the code for "OK"! This bug is present in FC30.

Note also, that the FC30 version is missing a requirement on python2-newt, without which it fails.
