Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 5, i386:

The following steps result in a misleading cryptsetup error message:

* Boot from LiveCD
* Become root: sudo su -
* Install cryptsetup: apt-get cryptsetup
* Open a LUKS device:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 crypt_rally2
Enter LUKS passphrase: 
Command failed: No key available with this passphrase.


Actually the supplied password was correct but kernel module dm_crypt is not 
loaded in this scenario.

* modprobe dm_crypt

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 crypt_rally2
Enter LUKS passphrase: 
key slot 1 unlocked.
Command successful.

Maybe there is a chance to give the user a hint what is really going
wrong.
