Comment 1 Peter Jones 2006-11-01 19:23:32 UTC
This is because it statically links against libselinux, which at the time it was
built had a broken matchpathcon() function.  Fixed in rawhide.

Comment 2 Daniel Berrangé 2006-11-05 21:32:11 UTC
Re-opening because this bug is against FC6 not rawhide & no errata has been made
available for either FC6 updates or updates-testing.

Will there be an errata for FC6? I cannot do anything about this, maybe someone
from Redhat will stand in? Peter Jones is afaik too busy to do it.


Comment 4 Till Maas 2007-08-08 10:12:54 UTC
A new release of cryptsetup-luks is now available for FC6 (1.0.3-2.3.fc6), this
should fix this issue, please reopen this bug, when it is not the case.
