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

[Adrien Beau]

Sorry for the double-posting, the idea only occurred to me after sending
my first comment.

Installing the "cryptsetup" package installs several dependencies,
including a lot of boot-time stuff I do not need. I wondered if one of
the dependencies could solve the problem by itself, and it turns out to
be the case.

In order to open a LUKS container and not hang in the process,
"cryptsetup-bin" actually only needs "dmsetup" to be installed.

So the Depends or Recommends should be on "dmsetup".

Title:
  crypsetup hangs when only cryptsetup-bin is installed

Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
