[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#932643: cryptsetup upgrade causes cryptsetup-initramfs autoremoval and boot failure

[Ben Caradoc-Davies]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:2.1.0-6
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Dear Maintainer,

upgrading cryptsetup from 2:2.1.0-5 to 2:2.1.0-6 causes autoremoval of
cryptsetup-initramfs and consequent failure to boot from LUKS/LVM.

Workaround is to boot previous kernel (with unaffected initramfs) and repair
latest initramfs with:

apt-get install cryptsetup-initramfs

Kind regards,
Ben.
