[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#1027068: cryptsetup: syntax error, unexpected ERROR, expecting CCHAR or UNUMBER or AS

[Konomi Kitten]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:2.6.0-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: konomikitten at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

After doing the following updates:

[UPGRADE] cryptsetup:amd64 2:2.6.0-1 -> 2:2.6.0-2
[UPGRADE] cryptsetup-bin:amd64 2:2.6.0-1 -> 2:2.6.0-2
[UPGRADE] cryptsetup-initramfs:amd64 2:2.6.0-1 -> 2:2.6.0-2
[UPGRADE] libcryptsetup12:amd64 2:2.6.0-1 -> 2:2.6.0-2

I see the following error when my system starts just after the GRUB splash
screen:

syntax error, unexpected ERROR, expecting CCHAR or UNUMBER or AS

Please note that it's hard to read this error and I only could take a video of
it so I'm not sure of the exact message. After downgrading the packages the
error message no longer appears.
