this appears to be unrelated to cryptsetup itself. udisks2 has a Suggests: against libblockdev-crypto2; perhaps it should be a Recommends, or perhaps the gui tools need to be better about automatically pulling in needed components.
** Package changed: cryptsetup (Ubuntu) => udisks2 (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to udisks2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1760282 Title: Cryptsetup does not allow storage-drive encryption, it has unfullfilled dependencies Status in udisks2 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After installing cryptsetup it was not possible to encrypt an usb- stick or to open an encrypted usb-stick. In case of encryption (ext4) with e.g. "gnome-disks" it showed the error: The function "bd_crypto_luks_open_blob" called, but not implemented! A solution for this problem was given in https://debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=166920 The installation of the library sudo apt-get install libblockdev-crypto2 was the solution. This library is not part of required dependencies of cryptsetup.
