Bug#888444: cryptmount: Got errno=95 when run as not-root

I think I've found the origin of the problem, and this is related to a change made within libcryptsetup during January 2017, in the function device_internal_prepare(). This now checks that both getuid() and geteuid() return zero before attempting to configure a loopback device. Other areas of libcr

This bug seems to be related to apparent incompatibilities between the latest libcryptsetup and libgcrypt11. Preliminary experiments with libgcrypt20 indicate that the problems with non-privileged access to LUKS partitions can be fixed simply by compiling with libgcrypt20-dev in place of libgcrypt1
