Bug Description
Binary package hint: pwgen

$ pwgen -ys 10 5

however, it works fine if the "secure" option is not enabled
$ pwgen -y 10 5

I've verified this using pwgen package version 2.06-1build1 in Karmic. It works if you use:
wonderwoman:[~] pwgen -s -y 10 5
X=vdP'7lU- 93]J=D>XY= Rdf8o*p,E@ oMkbP~}J9= i"bu0Q^iF6
There is actually a patch in the upstream bug report.
