.Anaconda no longer fails after entering a passphrase for encrypted devices
Previously, if `kdump` was disabled when preparing an installation, and the user selected encrypted disk partitioning, the Anaconda installer failed with a traceback after entering a passphrase for the encrypted device.
This update fixes the problem, and users no longer need to enable `kdump` to create encrypted disk partitioning.

This is a regression comparing to RHEL-8.5. I'm not able to reproduce the same problem on RHEL-9.0 It's also possible to reproduce it when using automatic partitioning with encryption, it's not necessary to enter the custom partitioning spoke. A workaround is to define the partitioning first and then disable kdump. Based on the comment 3 switching to kdump addon. Thanks Vendy for looking on that. *** Bug 2085321 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
