Package: loop-aes-utils Version: 2.13.1-4 Severity: important Using the debian installer, setting up an encrypted root partition on top of an md device results in an unbootable system. During the initrd boot process, the loopaes script in scripts/local-top runs before mdadm which causes the script to enter an infinite loop trying to set up a loop using a non-existent md device.
One workaround is to hard-code /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/loopaes to report "mdadm" as a prerequisite and rebuild the initramfs. The script should be made to correctly determine its prerequisites so that the devices it depends on are made available before it attempts to setup the encrypted loop. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages loop-aes-utils depends on: ii gnupg 1.4.9-3 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii libblkid1 1.41.3-1 block device id library ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1 2.0.65-5 SELinux shared libraries ii libuuid1 1.41.3-1 universally unique id library ii mount 2.13.1.1-1 Tools for mounting and manipulatin Versions of packages loop-aes-utils recommends: pn sharutils <none> (no description available) loop-aes-utils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
