Bug Description

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

This is for version 2:1.0.4+svn29-1ubuntu1 (Gutsy latest at the time of writing).

There's a couple of places in /lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions which use $CRYPTCMD, like this:

$CRYPTCMD $PARAMS luksOpen $src $dst <&1

However, $CRYPTCMD is not defined anywhere. (It was defined in older versions).

As a result, the command is simply "$PARAMS luksOpen..." and of course it fails with a command-not-found error.

The fix is to replace all occurrences of $CRYPTCMD with "cryptsetup" in /lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions, which is consistent with the rest of it.

Yes it's a duplicate. I wonder why the original bug report does not show up when searching launchpad for the "cryptsetup" project, or even when searching Ubuntu in Launchpad for bugs containing the word "cryptsetup". I wouldn't have submitted a duplicate if I'd been able to find the original! Thanks for responding, anyway.
