[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#521789: cryptsetup: starting non-luks partitions fails

[Benjamin Gufler]

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

Cryptsetup for non-luks devices calls udev's vol_id to check for existing file systems. udev 0.140-1, however, changed its return messages, so the check doesn't properly work.

The new message should presumably be incorporated in /lib/cryptsetup/checks/un_vol_id:
23c23
< if [ "$vol_id" != "$dev: unknown volume type" ] && [ "$vol_id" != "minix" ] && [ -z "$fs" ] && [ "$vol_id" != "unknown or non-unique volume type (--probe-all lists possibly conflicting types)" ]; then
---
> if [ "$vol_id" != "$dev: unknown volume type" ] && [ "$vol_id" != "minix" ] && [ -z "$fs" ]; then
