[Bug 1589083] Re: crypsetup hangs when only cryptsetup-bin is installed

[Markus Spring]

I can confirm this on 16.04.1 64bit from a fresh minimal install.

* cryptsetup luksFormat works after installing cryptsetup-bin
* cryptsetup luksOpen   hangs without further notification 

After installation of the Package cryptsetup, 'cryptsetup luksOpen'
works as expected.

Title:
  crypsetup hangs when only cryptsetup-bin is installed

Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  According to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2326677, the
  user types "cryptsetup", is prompted (presumably by command-not-found)
  to install cryptsetup-bin, and then subsequently the cryptsetup
  command hangs.

  I would expect either cryptsetup-bin to depend on cryptsetup, or for
  the cryptsetup command to do something more useful than hang.

  I have not verified this reported behaviour but thought it worthy of a
  report.
