Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

Trying to install ecryptfs-utils on my jaunty-test-system with amd 64-bit OS fails.

kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (amd64 edition)
ubuntu-gnome desktop
ecryptfs-utils_66-2ubuntu3, libecryptfs0_66-2ubuntu3

The installer do not provide the folder/dictionary

-> /var/lib/>>ecryptfs<<

adding the dictionary in a terminal by typing

>>sudo mkdir /var/lib/ecryptfs<<
>>sudo chmod -R 777 /var/lib/ecryptfs<<

solves the problem to use ecryptfs-utils satisfying. The fail-function will appaer during ecryptfs-setup-private  command in a appropriate message.

These installation is a new one and not an update. It differs from an other  32-bit-installation, where are the dictionary >>.ecryptfs<< is located inside the home-folder and not as a link to /var/lib/ecryptfs. What happens??
