[Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#388083: cryptsetup update does not check crypttab, grave problems during reboot

[Michael Steinfurth]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.4~rc2-1
Severity: normal

In prev. versions I only used two entries in /etc/crypttab, now four 
entries in crypttab are mandatory, but update does not check the entries 
and just installs new initscript/cryptdisks.functions.
After reboot you could have grave problems if some cryptdisks do not start, 
because the entries only have 2 entries.

Possible solution: check entries of crypttab during update of package 
and display a warning or something else.

crypttab manpage section SYNOPSIS is wrong. Last two arguments are shown
as optional but they are mandatory.
