Package: cryptsetup Version: 2:1.0.2+1.0.3-rc3-1 Severity: important I want to report on an incompatibility in cryptsetup which prevents me from using the current version. This is possibly related to bug #364529, but I cannot tell for sure.
I use cryptsetup to create an encrypted mapping with the following command line cryptsetup -c aes-cbc-plain -s 256 create 'root' '/dev/hda1' <key key is a file containing 64 hex digits (i.e. 256 bits) and a \n. The old version of cryptsetup, which worked, built the mapping just as if I had entered the key by hand. The new version seems to process the key somewhat differently so that the data is not properly decrypted -- I cannot mount the filesystem. Unfortunately, I cannot say what the 'old' version of cryptsetup is. I still have the binary, but it doesn't support the --version option. It is a version that was in unstable around Nov 25 2005. I already tried to make it work by: - using "-d key" on the command line and - removing the trailing newline in the key file but this didn't help. Typing in the key on the command line still works.
