Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I did a full-disk luks encrypted installation using trixie-DI-alpha1
_Trixie_ - Official Alpha amd64 NETINST with firmware 20241230-11:26.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I edited my /etc/crypttab to include other encrypted drives and
partitions. The drives had keyfiles that had been added with cryptsetup
using "luksAddKey UUID=WhaEver321 /someplace/keyfile-somename" as I
normally do. However when rebooting I was dropped to an emergency shell
because the partitions had not been decrypted. Adding the partitions to
the keyfiles and double-checking the crypttab did not help. I was forced
to mark the encrypted mounts in my fstab as "noauto" in order to boot to
the GUI.
I checked /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/ and found there was no
unit called systemd-cryptsetup-generator as there was in other Debian
installations with encrypted partitions.
I installed the package 'systemd-cryptsetup' & a couple of others that
probably were not necessary (cryptmount, pmount) and checked again and
found there was now a unit:
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-cryptsetup-generator
I removed the 'noauto' options from my fstab and was able to boot
normally with my drives properly mounted.
* What was the outcome of this action?
I was able to boot normally.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Any installed system with luks encryption support should be able to read
and decrypt entries in /etc/crypttab with properly processed keyfiles
without installing additional packages.
