A package never tries to access something like /media/molly/enc1 when installing. It seems to be some coincidence or a bug in apt or so. What also gives the impression that the password prompts are not caused by the package is that after the package had finished to install and the prompt came back another password prompt appeared.

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.
