Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

I recently changed my login password via:
passwd defcon
changed password
rebooted
Logged in and I get no private directory
I then tried ecryptfs-rewrap-passphrase ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase oldpass newpass and rebooted and still no go, what can I do to recover my data??
Thanks

I also get this error:
defcon@ion:~/.ecryptfs$ mount.ecryptfs_private 
keyctl_search: Required key not available
