I never explicitly installed cryptsetup during my previous ubuntu
versions (and I did not choose "encrypt" option), but I always could
unlock my luks device. I will check this for 13.10 in a vbox later.

However, even if cryptsetup is not installed by default, in nautiles
when it do not find "cryptsetup" it should give some useful infomation
(e.g., "cryptsetup is not installed in your system, please install...",
or just ask the user whether he would like to install it), rather than
giving the useless error message.

removed on upgrade. Please attach your upgrade logs from /var/log/apt
/dist-upgrade.

By saying UPGRADE, I mean "remove Ubuntu 13.10 and install 14.04", so no
logs.

Bug description:
  After upgrade from ubuntu 13.10 to 14.04 lts, I am unable to ulock my
  luks device. It gives the following error message:

  Error unlocking /dev/sda6: Error spawning command-line `cryptsetup
  luksOpen "/dev/sda6" "luks-9082ff43-d991-4bf1-8bb6-ef8452e3e11a" ':
  Failed to execute child process "cryptsetup" (No such file or
  directory) (g-exec-error-quark, 8)

  Then I noticed that the package "cryptsetup" was not installed in my
  system.

  "cryptsetup" should be included and installed as default in ubuntu
  14.04 lts, as it was in the previous releases.
