palimpsest (gnome-disk-utility) fails to change LUKS passphrase

[Claus Allweil]

Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility

palimpsest from the package gnome-disk-utility recognizes luks encrypted disks which are created with cryptsetup.

palimpsest offers a button "Change Passphrase...". When pressing this button you are prompted for the "Current Passphrase" and for the "New Passphrase".

Entering the "old" and twice the "new" passphrase and hitting the button "Change Passphrase" palimpsest display the message "Changing Passphrase for Encrypted LUKS device" and then suddenly returns to the passphrase input window with the error message "Incorrect Passphrase. Try again."

The passphrase is correct mounting and unmounting the luks partition works perfect with palimpsest.
