Package: loop-aes-utils
Version: 2.12a-3
Followup-For: Bug #309977

Thanks for your fast response!
I tried the following as you mentioned:

Worked.

> (try losetup again with this keyfile-v2; It should work with 2.12a
> and 2.12p; losetup -a from 2.12p should show "multi-key-v2")

With "loop-aes-utils -a" from 2.12p I get "multi-key-v3" !!! with
keyfile-v2 and the original error message with keyfile-v3.
But with keyfile-v2 (using loop-aes-utils 2.12p) it is set up correctly
and I can mount it!  What is going on here?

I noticed that keyfile-v3 has 3915 newlines at the end, is this to worry me
for the final step (which I did not yet take)?:

> # dd if=keyfile-v2 of=/dev/device bs=8192 count=1 conv=notrunc

I'm planning on trying this on a copy tomorrow. I want to give my harddrive a
little rest inbetween though.... it's rather large quantities it has to shuffle
around. And a comment from you if you think it is safe any more would maybe
spare it some heat, particularly if you don't think I should try this... ;-)

Thank you for your guidance
