[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#510287: cryptsetup: Booting on mixed systems misses call to vgchange

[Olaf Mandel]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6-7
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hello,

fixing bug 506536 (vgchange -> lvm vgchange) in 2:1.0.6-7 creates a
problem on mixed systems (i.e. lvm2 from etch and cryptsetup from
lenny). Basically, this is the same as 506536: the system doesn't boot
and one needs to use a rescue system to create a new initramfs image.

As it is not advisable to Depend on a specific version of lvm2 (lvm2 is
not really needed in all casses), and as Recommendations and Suggestions
don't enforce a version number, please keep the
debian/initramfs/cryptroot-script able to handle both calling
conventions, for the time being. If both executables are available, then
the script should default to the newer invokation method (lvm vgchange).

Best regards,
Olaf Mandel
