My own 2 cents.
I would change the dialog to something like this:
=====================================
Probing LUKS failed
The following package needs to be installed to fully analyze
the storage devices on the system:
cryptsetup
If you continue without installing it, the system information
presented by YaST will be incomplete.
[Install] [Ignore and Continue]
=======================================
In other words:
- I would present the name of the package right away, with that, I don't
think we need the "details" button (the exact command is not important).
- Offering the possibility to abort right away is likely also not so
important. The user can always abort after having closed the pop-up (all
YaST modules contain a button to quit anyways).
- Use a not-so-technical wording (I'm open to suggestions to improve my
proposal).
Good enough? More thoughts?
