Public bug reported:
Last Saturday I lost my Lucid (due to other issues, unrelated to this
bug). I then decided to reinstall from the 2010-04-11 alternate ISO.
During the install I kept some partitions, including /home. After
install completed I tried to login to Gnome, and got some weird messages
stating gconf could not access the gconf data, etc. The gnome startup
then completeld with an emtpy window.
Moved to a vTerm, logged in, and found the usual two links created by
ecryptfs stating the home directory was encrypted. To my surprise,
ecryptfs-utils was not installed.
Manually installed it, rebooted, and life was good.
This is a corner case, of course. But I would expect a lot of users to
use home dir encryption, and to recover systems maintaining /home.
Given we have been moving to have customers either encrypt the whole
partition or their home directories, and given the chance of a reinstall
*keeping* /home, ecryptfs-utils should *always* be installed.
