Missing dependency - gnome-disk-utility needs cryptsetup

[Ken]

gnome-disk-utility version 3.14.0 as installed on Ubuntu Mate 15.04 from the Ubuntu repositories installs the following package:

The following extra packages will be installed:
  cracklib-runtime libcrack2 libpwquality-common libpwquality1
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  cracklib-runtime gnome-disk-utility libcrack2 libpwquality-common
  libpwquality1

gnome-disk-utility allows the user to create an encrypted file system. If the user attempts to create an encrypted partition where no partition exists, the program will crash. If the user attempts to format an existing partition as "Type: Encrypted, compatible with Linux systems (LUKS + Ext4)" the following error message is presented:

Error creating LUKS device: Error spawning command-line `cryptsetup luksFormat ""/dev/sdb1""': Failed to execute child process "cryptsetup" (No such file or directory) (g-exec-error-quark, 8) (udisks-error-quark, 0)

If the cryptsetup package is installed with apt-get the issue is resolved and gnome-disk-utility will create or format a partition/file system as LUKS + Ext4.

Cryptsetup should be installed as a dependency when installing gnome-disk-utilities.

thanks, seems like the same issue than bug #1310174
