Package: cfs
Version: 1.4.1-18
Severity: important

After upgrade to version 1.4.1-18 i was no longer able to mount
blowfish-encrypted directories (cattach failed with 'bad passphrase' error,
although the passphrase was definitely correct, as it was supplied by a
script).

I examined the source and noticed that some blowfish-related parts of the
code are #ifdef-ed out in this version and these disabled parts are slightly 
altered to use some
other undefined functions (macros?). I'm not sure whether this is intended
or is an unwanted byproduct of some refactoring.

I managed to put together a working local version by reverting part of the 
debian
patches (likely breaking the 64bit type compatibility in the process, so the
patch is probably unusable outside of my system).

Although the problem is mostly solved for me now, there might be other
people out there that are unable to recover their data.
I'd be happy if some future version of cfs has blowfish working again. 

Thanks.
