Description Matthias Wenzel 2003-11-01 17:58:35 UTC
trying to mount my encrypted partition i found that util-linux 2.12 is not
patched with the crypt-patch.
util-linux 2.11z still works for me.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
losetup -e rc6 -k 256 /dev/loop0 cdisk
tells me there is no such option -k .
also mount from the same package cannot mount encrypted partitions.

my solution is 
# emerge /usr/portage/sys-apps/util-linux/util-linux-2.11z-r7.ebuild

Yes, the reason is that nobody yet ported the patch, and I do not have the
time.  Anybody know who really handles the crypto stuff ?
