[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#902183: cryptsetup-initramfs:

[Chris Lamb]

Package: cryptsetup-initramfs
Version: 2:2.0.3-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

Just upgrading my sid systemm this morning:

  Setting up udev (239-1) ...
  update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
  Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.130) ...
  update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.16.0-2-amd64
  cryptsetup: ERROR: Couldn't find sysfs hierarchy for /dev/sda1
  cryptsetup: ERROR: Couldn't find sysfs hierarchy for 
      UUID=2efdbd50-bc29-4134-9519-5a007c41c12a
  cryptsetup: WARNING: The initramfs image may not contain cryptsetup binaries 
      nor crypto modules. If that's on purpose, you may want to uninstall the 
      'crypsetup-initramfs' package in order to disable the cryptsetup initramfs 
      integration and avoid this warning.
  W: APT had planned for dpkg to do more than it reported back (0 vs 4).
     Affected packages: udev:amd64

So, I didn't look into the sysfs error at all — as I do not use cryptsetup on this machine, I thought I would just remove the cryptsetup-initramfs package and get on with my morning (NB. typo bug already filed in #901971!).

I then did so:

  Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

I'm only really filing this just in case it affects people actually using cryptsetup or similar and I want to avoid them rebooting and it not working; feel free to close if invalid am just being trigger-happy.

Anything I should be concerned with?

Regards,
