Bug Description

Description
===========
The program cryptsetup freezes if the package cryptsetup is not installed, even if the package cryptsetup-bin is installed.

Steps to reproduce
==================
In a clean Ubuntu 16.04 system: execute
    cryptsetup
it says that you execute
    sudo apt install cryptsetup-bin
and then you do what Ubuntu says, but later cryptsetup freezes when trying to open something, as it was already stated in
    https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/using-cryptsetup-hangs/6537

Commentaries
============
The workaround is also executing later
    apt-get install cryptsetup
but the aforementioned problems should not exist.
