Package: loop-aes-utils Version: 2.13.1-3 Severity: important
While the losetup from mount does setup the loop device even if the specified file is readonly and readonly device was not explicitly requested the losetup from loop-aes-utils fails in this case. This breaks existing boot scripts. I can no longer boot my live system from httpfs unless I apply additional patches to workaround this incompatibility in losetup. This might affect other boot scripts and some of the standard debian-live network boot methods. I see it might be useful to make the device readwrite and fail when that is not possible but this is an incompatible behaviour and should be only turned on when requested by an option.
