[Bug 1634444] Re: man page wrong about cryptsetup default device type

[Fredrik Arnerup]

Sorry, I thought it was cryptsetup prompting me for a password, but it
turns out it was sudo ...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Title:
  man page wrong about cryptsetup default device type

Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 16.10

  cryptsetup-bin:
    Installed: 2:1.7.2-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 2:1.7.2-0ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 2:1.7.2-0ubuntu1 500
          500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu yakkety/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  
  In ubuntu 16.04, I could open my LUKS-encrypted drive with:
  cryptsetup open DEVICE NAME
  but now I need
  cryptsetup open DEVICE NAME --type luks

  The man page says:
  "Device type can be plain, luks (default), loopaes or tcrypt."
  But luks no longer seems to be the default.
