Bug Description

After upgrade from natty or reinstall from scratch to oneiric mandos-client abruptly stopped working and doesn't manage to talk to the server side. While still on natty mandos-client managed to unlock the dmcrypt root partition and boot the system.

Version: mandos-client 1.3.0-1ubuntu1

This is the debug output:
"Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ... /lib/mandos/plugin-runner: Could not open plugin dir: Permission denied
Going to fallback mode using getpass(3)
Password: "

If I add ",go=rx" to the mode parameter where "${DESTDIR}${PLUGINDIR}" is created in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/mandos it gets further. It still doesn't work though since after working around the plugin dir permissions problem the PGP key files can't be opened (currently not sure if this is also related to permission problems).
