That sorted it, thanks both.

Probably worth putting that in the instructions as well to save more bug
reports?

Should I be safe installing the other 69 updates in proposed to a live
system?

Cheers
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.
