Package: cryptsetup Version: 2:2.3.5-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
I just had a somewhat lengthy initramfs debug issue caused by some suboptimal cryptsetup behaviour. Specifically, the machine didn't have enough ram, probably because the default algorithm (argon) requires more ram than the machine had. Unfortunately, cryptsetup silently fails - you get a password prompt, youc an enter any password, your shell prompt appears without any message but nothing happened. Only when running cryptsetup with -v did it output an error message akin to (repeated from memory): error -3 not enough memory I think requiring users to use --verbose to see fatal error messages is highly suboptimal behaviour. It would be nice if future versions of cryptsetup would output error messages by default, at least when they are fatal, i.e. the action could not be executed.
