Description

For an unknown reason, cockpit-system has an explicit "Requires: libpwquality".

The reason is known, upstream supports `libpwquality` only. In particular, `pwscore` tool is used for scoring the strength of a user's password.
Sadly, `pwqcheck` doesn't provide such functionality(the scoring).

Anyway, I prepared downstream-only(at least for now) patch for making password quality lib configurable.

Вручную(неавтоматически) ставить зависимость на библиотеку у нас считается некрасиво и неправильно.

В конкретном случае лучше выбрать что-то подходящее из `rpm -q libpwquality --provides`. Т.е. pam_pwquality или 'PAM(pam_pwquality.so)' или /usr/bin/pwscore или /usr/bin/pwmake

Учитывая, что libpwquality криво упакована.
