Hmm.

Yes, I agree in general. Unfortunately the situation is rather
complicated here and there isn't an easy fix.
I think that for gutsy I'm just going to have to advise you to adopt a
workaround: I suggest you reconfigure your init scripts so that the
swap setup takes place later.
I hope that in hardy we'll have a cooked answer for encrypted swap,
which will have to involve some kind of `solution' to this problem
(although we can't guarantee that it will support your particular
setup).
Thanks anyway for your bug report and sorry not to be more helpful.
Regards,
Ian.
** Changed in: cryptsetup (Ubuntu)
Importance: Critical => Medium
Target: ubuntu-7.10-rc => None
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: cryptsetup
-
- On the latest Gutsy the /sbin/cryptsetup has library dependencies in
- /usr/lib. If /usr is a separate partition the cryptdisks-early startup
- fails as the cryptsetup binary cannot find the necessary libraries (/usr
- has not been mounted yet). Temporarily moving the dynamic libraries to
- /lib fixes this problem.
+ /sbin/cryptsetup has library dependencies in /usr/lib. If /usr is a
+ separate partition the cryptdisks-early startup fails as the cryptsetup
+ binary cannot find the necessary libraries (/usr has not been mounted
+ yet). This breaks encrypted swap on systems with separate /usr.
