Bug#927165: luks 2 in Buster
Hello,
I just wanted to mention, that this situation of version-change, from
luks 1 to luks 2, makes a multi-boot Stretch-Buster impossible - at
least in my situation.
I had sda1 as /boot, sda2 as encrypted Stretch (luks 1), Grub in MBR and
installed Buster (I used the XFCE4-installation-CD) encrypted (luks 2)
to sda3 (all primary Partitions). Now the fact is, that I cannot start
Stretch on sda2 anymore, not with the installed Grub, nor with any
"Rescuedisks", or similar...
I had to chroot in Stretch, install Grub from there again and build the
"initram.img" new, e.g. update it with "dpkg-reconfigure cryptsetup"
afterwards - now I can start Stretch again, but not at all Buster...
Theres also a second bug about this: after installation of Buster, I can
see "cryptsetup" as package installed, but I cannot fetch the command in
a terminal (as root). Neighter "cryptsetup"-command, nor
"dpkg-reconfigure"-command is available in terminal, even if the
packages are shown as installed.
But if I use the XFCE4-installation-CD in "rescue/repair-mode" on sda3
(Buster) as root, these commands are available again...
Greetings, Jack
