I attempted to upgrade a Bugzilla 2.10 instance to 2.20.2. While running checksetup.pl I observed the following:

Updating column cryptpassword in table profiles ...
Old: varchar(64)
New: varchar(128)
Your current installation of Bugzilla stores passwords in plaintext
in the database and uses mysql's encrypt function instead of Perl's
crypt function to crypt passwords.  Passwords are now going to be
re-crypted with the Perl function, and plaintext passwords will be
deleted from the database.  This could take a while if your
installation has many users.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Actual Results:  
I'm still able to login after the upgrade.

Expected Results:  
I suppose something that does not give this warning.

mkanat, known bug?

Comment 2

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

Yes, I've seen this problem. It means that something was wrong with your old database, and certain users had NULL for a password, I think. It only happens on upgrades from extremely old versions of Bugzilla, and it has no effect that I can see.

Thus I'm going to WONTFIX it.
