[Bug 290445] Re: ecryptfs-setup-private fails if passphrase contains character "%"
Updated blurb for the release notes:
Users of the alternate/server installation who choose a password containing a "%" or a "-" will end up with an encrypted ~/Private directory that will not mount on reboot and subsequent logins. To fix this, affected users will need to do the following in the newly installed system:
- Update ecryptfs-utils to at least version 53-1ubuntu12 (as soon as it becomes available as a package update), and then run:
$ ecryptfs-setup-private --force

Bug description:
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
