[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#493848: Source of this problem: /lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions

[enygma at dreadnought.homelinux.org]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6-4
Followup-For: Bug #493848


The problem is, that the method do_noluks() in the 
/lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions
file is broken.

The PARAMS variable is modified multiple times; before the if-loop regarding 
the options about keyfiles and afterwards again. This results in calling
cryptsetup with two --key-file arguments and making the real keyfile unavailable.

The solution I use was commenting out both the first PARAMS variable modification
and the if-loop. However it might be enough to remove the first PARAMS variable
modification line:

PARAMS="$PARAMS --key-file=$key"

in that method (not tested).

regards,
Yusuf.
