[Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#451916: cryptsetup: loopback device not detached after "/etc/init.d/cryptdisks stop"

[Rene Pavlik]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.5-2
Severity: normal


There is a not correctly working routine in the mentioned script to handle
detaching of loopback devices. After stopping, the device /dev/loopX is still
being assigned to the file. Next start of the init script allocates another
loopback device.
