I have an encrypted partition (luks / cryptsetup) on my drive which is
mounted manually when required and only contains documents.
Regularly, when Software Updater is run and updates are installed the
update process will stall, and if the command line window is expanded I
can see that one of the updates is requesting that I enter the password
to mount the encrypted partition.
THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE PARTITION TO BE REQUIRED
Today, the application which did this was CUPS (Please see attachment) however
on previous occasions it has been other updates.
Today, I did not enter the password was request twice by the package but I did
not enter the password, I just pressed enter and the package seems to have
installed successfully.
I will update this bug in the future with other applications which cause
this issue.
Thanks
