Bug Description

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

After upgrading to Gutsy I got problems mounting encrypted partitions at startup.
Amongst others I've got seperate partitions for /, /home and /usr.
/home is the only one of those that is encrypted.

While starting the system there's an error:
> Starting early crypto disks...
> cryptsetup: error while loading shared libraries: libgcrypt.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
> device /dev/sda6 is not a LUKS partition, skipping

Well, the lib exists in /usr/lib but /usr isn't mounted yet.
Therefor no /dev/mapper/home can be created.

Running '/etc/init.d/cryptdisk start' after booting works fine, but doesn't look reasonable to me.

Another problem is, that upstart doesn't wait/focus for/on entering luks-passphrase.
If I boot using splash-option in grub, I have to switch to tty8 on my own.
Booting in textmode is ever worse, because user-login and luks-passphrase seam to get in disorder.

I had no problems with Feisty:
- Seems as if there was no need for libgcrypt at booting time in feisty.
- No login-prompt until the passphrase was entered.
