biber libcrypt dependency in Fedora

[andrewacashner at gmail.com]

Hello,

Biber links to the shared library libcrypt.so.1.
Fedora has replaced libcrypt with an alternative
based on libxcrypt to resolve security problems (
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/FullyRemoveDeprecatedAndUnsafeFunctionsFromLibcrypt
). 

Users have to install a compatibility package
manually or biber will not run (
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/493231/biber-missing-libcrypt-so-1-library-on-fedora/493232#493232
). 

Can this problem be avoided so users don't have to
mess with shared libraries?

Best,
