[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#677127: relocation error

[pkk at spth.de]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.4.3-1
Severity: grave

I use Debian unstable, and update packages frequently. When starting my notebook
today I got the following message at the promt where I type in my passphrase:

/sbin/crpytsetup: relocation error: /sbin/cryptsetup: symbol
crypt_activate_by_key_file_offste, version CRYPTSETUP_1.0 not defined in file
libcryptsetup.so.4 with link time reference

This issue prevents me from accessing my system. I believe that relevant
packages are the latest versions from unstable, but cannot check the versions (I
am writing this report from a webmail interface on a Windows system), so the
Version pseudoheader is just a guess. I remember having updated
encryption-related packages during the weekend.

I do not know if this is really a cryptsetup bug or some library issue.
Nevertheless, normal package updates installed using synaptic made my system
unuseable.
