Package: cryptsetup Version: 2:1.0.4-8 Severity: normal The manpage of crypttab(5) says to the checkscripts:
"swap Checks for partition type swap. Only useful as <precheck>." But the script in /lib/cryptsetup/checks/swap checks for a valid swap signature. Because checking for partition type is a bad idea (#342079) an there is no solution for good precheck available (#350922) perhaps /lib/cryptsetup/checks/swap should be removed completely. There is no sense to use it as precheck. Encrypting the raw device, the signature has gone away. There is also no sense to use it as check. Swapon will do it itself. At least the manual should be corrected: "swap Check for swap signature. This is not very useful. In creating an encrypted swap device you destroy any swap signature on raw device. Hence you cannot check for it." -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages cryptsetup depends on: ii dmsetup 2:1.02.08-1 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdevma 2:1.02.08-1 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libgcryp 1.2.3-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libgpg-e 1.4-1 library for common error values an ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libuuid1 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-1 universally unique id library cryptsetup recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
