crypto error/warning when running update-initramfs on 5.0.0-34.36

[Khaled El Mously]

Warning were encountered when running update-initramfs on the new disco kernel, see comment in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-gke-5.0/+bug/1847641/comments/6

[Chris Newcomer (cnewcomer)]

I don't believe this is anything new with the -34 kernel. I accidentally installed the -32 kernel because I didn't save the sources.list file with -proposed enabled and it gave me the same error. It appears to be because the image is not set up for encryption and the cryptsetup-initramfs package is installed.

This appears to be more of an OS image issue than kernel.
