[Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#397454: cryptsetup: root and swap on lvm
on crypto can result in boot failure

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.4-4
Severity: serious
Starting with 2:1.0.4-4, the cryptsetup initramfs scripts will also try to
setup the swap partition in order to support (u)swsusp.
In the case where both root and swap use the same underlying dm-crypt
device, this will lead to duplicate entries in /conf/conf.d/cryptroot in
the initramfs image and the boot will fail.
The fix is simply to check in the initramfs script whether a device has
already been setup, and if so - ignore the second entry. This will work
with LVM/etc without changes as the same dm-crypt device can't be a
physical volume for several LVM vg's so no additional setup is necessary
for the second device.
I will commit a fix for this later today, updated package should be
included in Etch.
