Package: grub-pc
Version: 2.02+dfsg1-10
Followup-For: Bug #919288

Dear Maintainer,

I think this bug is not related to grub at all , for some reason /dev/mapper/cryptroot does not exist.
Which is kinda funny, because it's the root partition and according to dmsetup it's alive:
 dmsetup info /dev/mapper/cryptroot
Name:              cryptroot
State:             ACTIVE
Read Ahead:        256
Tables present:    LIVE
Open count:        1
Event number:      0
Major, minor:      254, 0
Number of targets: 1
UUID: CRYPT-LUKS1-d652a0421bff4e36821560de5d0454f9-cryptroot

I guess I'll just reboot the system and let the dev node be rebuilt.

As for the output of grub-probe
grub-probe /dev/mapper/cryptroot --verbose --verbose
grub-probe: info: cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map': No such file or directory.
