[Bug 1066480] Re: Installer doesn't show encrypted partitions

[DJ]

I found a bug in the cryptroot script run by update-initramfs. On line
523 it tests for a return value from add_device(), and prints an error
message.

if ! modules=$(add_device "$dev"); then ...

This statement will never be true, therefore the user is never notified
of the error.

I did receive a warning message, indicating that there's no valid entry
for my volume group in /etc/crypttab. However, I can't see why it's even
necessary to have anything in crypttab, because by the time the rootfs
is accessible, and thus /etc/crypttab, the crypt has already been
opened.

However, this page says that an entry is required in /etc/crypttab. Why?

Bug description:
  Hallo
  Testing 20121014 amd64 desktop in virtual env.
  in the disk was already present an encrypted Ubuntu installation, and when I try to install a second Ubuntu it don't consider the encrypted partitions, suggesting to erase all the disk instead to instal along side.
  But I want a free system for my son and an ecrypted one for my work on the same disk.
  Attached screenshot
  Thanks
  Fabio

  We can also see that the partition is regularry mounted and showed in
  launcher.
