[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#1140141: cryptsetup: Failure to boot fresh install via cryptroot-unlock with an encrypted home partition

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:2.7.5-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: alex at alex.com

Dear Maintainer,

I created a fresh install of Debian Trixie with the installation media. During the installation, I created a separate partition for /home in a LUKS encrypted device.
Upon booting for the first time, I could unlock these devices and boot normally by interacting directly with the physical computer, but when attempting to log in remotely via dropbear and unlock with cryptroot-unlock, I was unable to do so successfully (I was not prompted to unlock the /home device).

I tested with only an encrypted /root separate from /boot. Using the same procedure, I was able to successfully boot using dropbear and cryptroot-unlock in this case.

It appears that cryptroot-unlock does not properly prompt for all required boot devices even when booting can take place correctly via the normal terminal when interacting directly with the physical computer.

I would expect an encrypted partition set up directly with the Debian installer to boot properly with cryptroot-unlock with separate partitions for /home or other top‐level paths it suggests (/var, etc.).
