[Bug 1414719] Re: luksformat script uses old cipher setting

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package cryptsetup - 2:1.6.1-1ubuntu5

---------------
cryptsetup (2:1.6.1-1ubuntu5) vivid; urgency=medium

  * ./debian/scripts/luksformat: Drop luksFormat -s and --ciper options. They
    aren't necessary any more, and aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 is obsolete. This will
    now use aes-xts-plain64 by default. (LP: #1414719)
