The loop-aes patch for 2.17 does not work on 2.17.1: SRC_URI contains "util-linux-ng-2.17-20100120.diff.bz2" which does not apply. There is no new patch on this ftp yet. Reproducible: Always
You can find a valid patch in the recent src.rpm package for Mandriva: util-linux-ng-2.17.1-1mdv2010.1.src.rpm This package is on rpmfind.net
i'm not digging through an rpm, especially one found via rpmfind.net
there is a new patch on loop-aes.sf.net: http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/updates/util-linux-ng-2.17.1-20100308.diff.bz2 applied and compiled fine (cant test functionality) hf
thanks, added that to the ebuild http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-apps/util-linux/util-linux-2.17.1.ebuild?r1=1.1&r2=1.2
