** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: util-linux
- 
+ PROBLEM
+ =======
  Due to an error in devname.c of util-linux, the upgrade to 10.10 leads to the 
inability to login for anyone with pam_encfs enabled, hanging at 
"(Interface.cpp:165) checking if nameio/block(3:0:1) implements
  nameio/block(3:0:0) "
  
  This is described (with a fix) as bug #593336 on google group
- linux.debian.bugs.dist
- 
(http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/accc7d6cce95b9f4/80f49718cff30f42).
- I applied the patch on that page to util-linux on my computer, and the
- problem was resolved.  The patch is attached.

- (NB: the bug report will mention modified versions of many util-linux
- files.  This is because I generated the bug report after patching.
- Before patching, when the problem existed, I was running a standard
- 10.10 build, upgraded from 10.04, with all packages up-to-date.)
