Description:

The Wiki Create User Page [1] asks command line question for uninstalled command
[1]:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Special:UserLogin/signup

Asks captcha like question
What is the output of "pacman -V|base32|head -1"

Which, on my system (pacman v5.0.0, kernel 4.4.1-2-ARCH) replies
-bash: base32: command not found
(not the answer form was looking for)

$ sudo pacman -Ss base32
community/perl-mime-base32 1.02-1 [installed]
Base32 encoder / decoder

And, there is no rotation (ask me a different question)
I had to use the perl-mime-base32 to write a perl script to be able to answer the question, so I create an account, login and report this.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Logout, try creating new user
This task depends upon

Known issue, currently requires coreutils from the testing repo.

Since base64 seems to be included with core/coreutils
why doesn't someone simply change the test from base32 to base64?

No idea why this package is still in testing. As I don't have much time right now, I have changed the captcha to base64.

Requested closure
