[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#535801: cryptsetup: root-device is changed wrongly

[johfel at gmx.de]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.7~rc1-1
Severity: important

I have the following config:
  target=sda1Crypt,source=/dev/sda1,key=none

target=sda2Crypt,source=/dev/sda2,key=sda1Crypt,keyscript=/lib/cryptsetup/scripts/decrypt_derived

sda1Crypt is root filesystem, sda2Crypt is my swap partition.

In the new version 2:1.0.7~rc1-1 the root device is changed to
/dev/mapper/sda2Crypt, so the system can't mount its root partition and
fails to boot.

I think the recent fix for lilo (I use grub):
  echo "ROOT=$NEWROOT" >> /conf/param.conf
in scripts/local-top/cryptroot is responsible for this behavior.
