Package: encfs
Version: 1.5.2-2+b1
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
Justification: renders package unusable
I guess mounting fails because there's a problem with parsing the .xml file.

Creating new encrypted volume.
When one proceeds with creating the new volume (which somehow I did, I'm not
sure if manually or due to using the cryptkeeper tool to mount) the .xml gets
overwritten and (I guess) renders the whole encrypted directory useless.
I think mounting should be clearly sapareted from creating a new directory.

Hi,
This issue has been closed upstream (see [1]). The boost library
is not going to expand the version number definition beyond 8 bits,
but he does provide a workaround for encfs to continue to use
the old serialized data.
Eduard: can you work with upstream to incorporate the suggested fix?
I'd like to remove Boost 1.40 from Debian but I don't want to cripple
encfs when this happens.
Thanks,
-Steve
