Description Daniel V. 2009-01-03 13:19:02 UTC

From the postinst message:

 * USE=crypt has been changed to USE=loop-aes.  If you need
 * support for it, make sure to update your USE accordingly.

Why do we have both USE flags then? Peeking into the ebuild I see that the crypt use flag adds the /etc/init.d/crypto-loop script, so if USE=crypt still has functionality then the postinst message is a bit confusing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.USE="crypt" emerge util-linux
2.
3.
