Hello Elmar,

Did you use cryptsetup 2:1.0.5-2 or a more recent version before you
upgraded to 2:1.0.6-4? Could you try version 2:1.0.6-1 from [1]?

Are you sure that /dev/sdc is the device in question, and that you
really want to luksopen the device directly, not only a partition, i.e.
/dev/sdc1? Did you verify that the device is not mapped already?

Please provide the output of the following commands:

# /lib/udev/vol_id /dev/sdc
# cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sdc
# strace cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc foo 2>&1

greetings,
 jonas
