Thanks, I'm working on a fix.

As a work around, you can enter two "%" back to back to escape.
Example, for a password of "foo%bar", you could enter "foo%%bar".

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

Ecrypt-setup-private asks for user login passphrase, but it seems to fail if there are certain special characters in passphrase (for me that would be %).

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10
ecryptfs-utils version 53-1ubuntu11
