[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#585378: cryptsetup: segfaults on boot (on powerpc)

[Mourad De Clerck]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.1.2-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

cryptsetup asks the password for the root (luks) partition and proceeds to
segfault. After which it asks the password again. Critical because it made
this laptop unbootable. I repaired it with another powerpc laptop, "target
mode" and chroot. It's a bit tricky to figure out what's going on this early
in the boot, and I'm a bit loath to upgrade to the current version of
cryptsetup again. However, if I can help in any way, let me know.

Kind regards,

-- Mourad DC
