Dustin,

It may be that there actually IS a version problem:

$ dpkg -l | grep ecryptfs-utils
ii  ecryptfs-utils                            53-1ubuntu12                                ecryptfs cryptographic filesystem (utilities)
$ dpkg -L ecryptfs-utils | grep /usr/share/ecryptfs-utils
$ 

So whereas you're showing 53-1ubuntu13, I only have 53-1ubuntu12 despite
having followed the steps to ensure I had the most up-to-date version
(as I only installed it today, it ought to have been anyway).

Tony

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

Kubuntu 8.10

I am trying to follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory to set up an encrypted private directory.

"apt-get install ecryptfs-utils" installs 53-1ubuntu12. However, the instructions for configuring to work with password-less logins states that 53-1ubuntu14 or later is required.

Following the instructions, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" does not result in any upgrading of this package.

This means I am unable to follow the instructions, as /usr/share/ecryptfs-utils does not exist (presumably this is a new addition to the more recent packages) and cannot use an encrypted directory.
