[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#492926: luksOpen fails, "Can not access device"

[Elmar Hoffmann]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6-4
Severity: normal

luksOpen fails with the following error:

# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc foo || echo $?
Command failed: Can not access device
241

The device does exist and isLuks and luksDump do work as expected.
After downgrade to 2:1.0.5-2 luksOpen does work again.
