Package: installation-reports
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Installation using manually partioned disk by installer containing LVM on encrypted volume


   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or

Manually partition drive by installer:
- primary boot partition
- encrypted volume
- LVM on encrypted volume containing root and swap partitions

Continue installation to the end.

An alternative would be trying to encrypt the whole disk. This fails in a more complete way.

This used to work fine with buster as testing release already.


   * What was the outcome of this action?

After reboot and some error messages about missing LVM volumes you will be dropped to an initramfs shell.
Obviously cryptsetup is missing although installed by d-i with no errors and there are no errors reported by d-i during generaton of initramfs.


   * What outcome did you expect instead?

A working installation where cryptsetup with or without plymouth asking for passphrase and setting up encrypted volumes.


Cause:

cryptsetup-initramfs is not installed. I was able to fix the situation by chroot and installing it in the end of the installation.

Sorry, but you're not reporting anything actionable, so I'll just stick
to my initial assessment: Arne's original problem was fixed a long while
ago:

    partman-crypto (106) unstable; urgency=high
    
      * Merge patch by Guilhem Moulin to pull cryptsetup-initramfs instead of
        cryptsetup, since the former is now responsible for the cryptsetup
        initramfs integration (Closes: #930228).

and I'm pretty sure you're not running into this problem. Installing on
encrypted LVM is one of my test scenarios and that works like a charm.

Feel free to open a fresh bug report with details if you run into this
again.


Cheers,
