Title:
  Cryptsetup does not allow storage-drive encryption, it has
  unfullfilled dependencies

Status in udisks2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After installing cryptsetup it was not possible to encrypt an usb-
  stick or to open an encrypted usb-stick. In case of encryption (ext4)
  with e.g. "gnome-disks" it showed the error:

  The function "bd_crypto_luks_open_blob" called, but not implemented!

  A solution for this problem was given in

  https://debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=166920

  
  The installation of the library 

  sudo apt-get install libblockdev-crypto2

  
  was the solution. This library is not part of required dependencies of cryptsetup.
