[Bug 401182] [NEW] luksformat gives cryptic error if you enter a lower case YES

[komputes]

Public bug reported:

$ sudo luksformat -t vfat /dev/sdd1
Creating encrypted device on /dev/sdd1...

WARNING!
========
This will overwrite data on /dev/sdd1 irrevocably.

Are you sure? (Type uppercase yes): yes
Command failed.
Could not create LUKS device /dev/sdd1 at /usr/sbin/luksformat line 58, <MOUNTS> line 19. 

luksformat gives this cryptic error if you enter a lower case "YES".
This should point to an error saying: Command failed. Could not create
LUKS device /dev/sdd1 because you need to type YES in uppercase. If
there is a way to change the error "Could not create LUKS device
/dev/sdd1 at /usr/sbin/luksformat line 58, <MOUNTS> line 19." to
something more useful, it would be appreciated.

Packages affected:
cryptsetup 2:1.0.6-7ubuntu7
