Hi,

don't know if Guilhem is subscribed to the backports mailing list so I
decided to forward this.

Kind regards

Subject: Does cryptsetup upgrade 2:2.3.4-2~bpo10+1 breaks decryption?

Hi,

after the cryptsetup upgrade yesterday:

cryptsetup:amd64 2:2.3.4-1~bpo10+1 -> 2:2.3.4-2~bpo10+1
cryptsetup-bin:amd64 2:2.3.4-1~bpo10+1 -> 2:2.3.4-2~bpo10+1
cryptsetup-initramfs:amd64 2:2.3.4-1~bpo10+1 -> 2:2.3.4-2~bpo10+1
cryptsetup-run:amd64 2:2.3.4-1~bpo10+1 -> 2:2.3.4-2~bpo10+1
libcryptsetup12:amd64 2:2.3.4-1~bpo10+1 -> 2:2.3.4-2~bpo10+1

and the according initramfs update, the decryption after the passphrase
input fails with the message:
"libgcc_s.so.1 must beinstalled for pthread_cancel to work"

from the changelog:
cryptsetup (2:2.3.4-2~bpo10+1) buster-backports; urgency=medium
  * Rebuild for buster-backports.
 -- Guilhem Moulin <guilhem at debian.org>  Wed, 20 Jan 2021 19:46:41 +0100

  * cryptsetup-initramfs now requires initramfs-tools 0.137 or later
    and no longer copies libgcc_s.so.1 to the initrd since recent
    initramfs-tools take care of it.

but initramfs-tools 0.133 is installed under Buster:

$ pak_policy initramfs-tools
initramfs-tools:
  Installiert:           0.133+deb10u1
  Installationskandidat: 0.133+deb10u1
  Versionstabelle:
     0.139 -10
        -10 https://debian.inf.tu-dresden.de/debian testing/main amd64
Packages *** 0.133+deb10u1 990
        990 https://debian.inf.tu-dresden.de/debian buster/main amd64
Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Shall i install initramfs-tools from testing?
