Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cryptsetup
cryptsetup 1.0.3-3ubuntu3
distro: edgy
After an update to Edgy my encrypted /var partition can't be mounted at
startup. The cryptsetup command fails with an error message "Error
reading password" or similar (I can't remember the exact wording). It
seems like it can't grab a password prompt from the tty. It might be
related with the new upstart system.
** Affects: cryptsetup (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
