Bug Description

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

When a wrapped-passphrase is rewrapped using ecryptfs-rewrap-passphrase the command will ask for the current passphrase (as to be expected), it also asks for a new passphrase, after entering that it just exits...
I was expecting to enter the new passphrase at least twice.
The current situation is extremely dangerous (if you ask me) and could render all encrypted data unrecoverable.
