[Bug 1917676] [NEW] dropped into initramfs after update on March 1

[Sergio Schvezov]

Public bug reported:

This is the system I was running when it happened:

- Kubuntu 20.10 install with default encryption settings (LUKS, whole disk)
- upgrade to 21.04
- on Monday March 1 2021 an lvm2 update came in
- after a reboot, get dropped into initramfs

I am attaching a screenshot of the initramfs prompt reproduced by a
colleague. I have since wiped the system as it is my main work machine.
The data itself was not corrupted (could still mount the
partitions/volumes).

I would suspect the issue is brought by
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/lvm2_2.03.11-2ubuntu1_2.03.11-2ubuntu2.diff.gz
which is a debdiff hidden by the no change rebuild that happened after.

** Affects: lvm2 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
