[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#732568: cryptsetup-bin: luksFormat fails to initalize KeySlot

Wed Dec 18 21:19:47 UTC 2013

Package: cryptsetup-bin
Version: 2:1.6.1-1
Severity: important

When trying to format a luks partition the cryptsetup command fails with the
following error.  I tried with two different USB drives (one with a DOS
partition table and the other with GPT partition table).
