[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#539734: luksformat: assumption mkfs.$fs lives in /sbin is incorrect

[Jon Dowland]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6+20090405.svn49-1
Severity: normal

Exceprt from /usr/sbin/luksformat:

 37 $mkfs = "/sbin/mkfs.$fs";
 38 if (! -x $mkfs) {
 39     print STDERR "Error: invalid file system: $fs\n";
 40     exit 1;
 41 }

btrfs-tools puts mkfs.btrfs in /usr/bin, so luksformat
cannot be used in conjunction with btrfs.
