[solved] cryptsetup 1.4.3-1 broken

[jackyohh]

Hi,

#apt-cache policy cryptsetup
cryptsetup:
  Installed: 2:1.4.3-1
  Candidate: 2:1.4.3-1
  Version table:
 *** 2:1.4.3-1 0
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I get some errors and i cannot open my encrypted partitions during boot process. I have to do it by hand (via cryptsetup luksOpen etc.).

Unlocking the disk /dev/disk/by-uuid/..... (blabla)
Enter passphrase: cryptsetup: relocation error: cryptsetup: symbol crypt_activate_by_keyfile_offset, version CRYPTSETUP_1.0 not defined in file libcryptsetup.so.4 with link time reference

jackyohh, as this is not reported by any other, and my luks /home also working:
Perhaps you got hit by the oneday bug of dpgk?

Does this help:
apt-get install -f

If this does not help try to reinstall. You can find you last N packages upgraded by

Code: [Select]

echo "$(N=9;cd /var/lib/dpkg/info;ls -t *.list|head -n $N|sed -e's/\:.*/ /' -e's/\.list$/ /'|tr -d '\n')"

[jackyohh]

neither apt-get -f install, nor reinstalling cryptsetup solve it. maybe it has something to do with it's called "Schlüsselableitung" in German - don't know the English expression for it.

i only type once my password (for one partition) and cryptsetup rebuild the internal key of this partition to unlock all other partitions/volumes.

@jacky, can you mount a crypted partition by hand later - after the boot process? (Hint: update-initramfs -u)

What does it show:
find /etc -iname '*.dpkg*'

jup, like i said, no problem, only at boot i get this error.

What does it show:
find /etc -iname '*.dpkg*'

Code: [Select]

# find /etc -iname '*.dpkg*'
/etc/ca-certificates.conf.dpkg-old
/etc/avserver.conf.dpkg-new
/etc/lvm/lvm.conf.dpkg-dist
/etc/login.defs.dpkg-old
/etc/init.d/ushare.dpkg-new
/etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc.dpkg-dist
/etc/lirc_alt_serial/hardware.conf.dpkg-dist
/etc/lirc_alt_serial/lircd.conf.dpkg-dist

"only at boot i get this error. "

a) update-initramfs -u
b) try an older kernel
c) (re)install the newest kernel (DU should do)!

And check your /etc directory. "dpkg-new" files are perhaps critical! You should do for example:
diff /etc/avserver.conf  /etc/avserver.conf.dpkg-new
and then edit aproprietly ....

[jackyohh]

a) check
b) check --> 3.1-6.towo.2-siduction-amd64
c) check --> 3.4-2.towo.1-siduction-amd64

nothing helped :/

avserver.conf is part of some media streamer, so it has nothing to do with cryptsetup. same with ushare.dpkg-new.

only thing that helped is downgrading to 1.4.1-3
perhaps something has changed in config file? ... or just a bug?? ... a bug in my package file??

here is my crypttab

Code: [Select]

# <target> <source>         <key>      <options>

440gb_crypt UUID=25492be2-ac15-4ebb-a449-9db4c308acd4     none     luks

2tb_crypt UUID=99e4037d-8d7c-4d12-9370-a3c0c75970dd     440gb_crypt     luks,keyscript=/lib/cryptsetup/scripts/decrypt_derived

Yes in changelog there was mentioned a change regarding "scripts"

[jackyohh]

SOLVED!!

there is a missing dependency! i have to install the new version of libcryptsetup4. (i only installed cryptsetup by hand)

Code: [Select]

apt-get install libcryptsetup4

maintainer should add this dependency!

thx for your help ralu!!

[ralul]

This dependency is not missing:
cryptsetup - cryptsetup-bin - libcryptsetup4
(Have you been hit by a buggy dpkg?)

Because of your first error message you should have looked at libcryptsetup.so.4

very strange, your are right. don't know why it was not installed. buggy dpkg? ... hmm i don't know. i saw no error during installation.

Because of your first error message you should have looked at libcryptsetup.so.4

yeah i looked for it at the end;) ... i didn't thought at it, because i believed that such file would be installed at the same time, or that it is already included in cryptsetup.
i believed rather in some internal error!

Every now and then my experience with problems:
Think twice looking at error messages and go for it all possible directions ...
