Bug Description

Steps to reproduce :

1) Take your encrypted USB disk to your friend's place
2) Nautilus asks for the passphrase
3) Type the passphrase
4) Nautilus shows an error because 'crypsetup' cannot be found

Expected results :

1) The system tells the user that the cryptsetup package should be installed in order to read the disk.
2) Cryptsetup is then installed
3) The disk is mounted
