[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#891219: cryptsetup: cryptdisks_start bad output formatting

[nfb]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:2.0.1-1
Severity: minor

Hi,
after cryptsetup 2:1.7.5-1 -> 2:2.0.1-1 upgrade, starting an encrypted
volume with cryptidsks_start shows broken output:

» cryptdisks_start containers
[....] Starting crypto disk...[info] containers (starting)...
[ ok iners (started)...done.

Besides the whole output looks a bit confusing with the info blocks
not always at the line start and with no space separation (but may be
a matter of personal taste), note the second line, where the volume
name is overwritten by the string "[ ok ".

After a quick check, it seems something must happen between the call
to log_action_cont_msg() by device_msg() in
/lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions and log_end_msg_pre() in
/lib/lsb/init-functions.d/20-left-info-blocks. Or log_end_msg_pre()
is simply called after log_action_cont_msg() so it overwrites the
beginning of the string, setting the cursor position to the first
column. I didn't investigate further...

Thanks.
