loop-aes module is not available when update-initramfs is run

[pturing]

Binary package hint: loop-aes-utils

Currently when a new kernel is installed, the loop-aes-utils hooks for
initramfs-tools will always fail because the loop-aes version of loop.ko
has not been installed for the new kernel.

This patch modifies the loopaes hook script such that module-assistant is used
to build the necessary module if loop-aes-source is installed,
but no module has yet been built for the new kernel.

I am on Hardy Heron using loop-aes-utils version 2.13-2 along with loop-aes-source 3.2c-2 and initramfs-tools 0.85eubuntu39.1

Hi,
I'm using the same setup. Loop-aes-source package from debian lenny repository.

Builiding module works.

Cool :)

Building the module works for me too, which is very cool.
But... it doesn't do it automatically when building the initrd for a new
kernel, which would be much better.

I'm getting these error messages when I run update-initramfs. looks strange!

Hi, thanks for trying help improve Ubuntu. Unfortunately, the loop-aes-utils package was removed from Ubuntu and is no longer available in any currently supported Ubuntu release. Closing this bug.
