[Bug 376997] Re: contrary to statement in the manual, bcrypt removes input file

[James Page]

I'm not able to reproduce this bug and bcrypt, although in the archive,
is no longer considered secure:

# bcrypt testfile 
Encryption support disabled. See http://bugs.debian.org/700758

Marking Won't Fix.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bcrypt

  of using bcrypt -or. Neither the encrypted nor the original file are
  available afterwards.

  % echo dada >testfile
  % bcrypt testfile

  Again:

  The directory is emtpy, the file is gone.
