[Bug 1386131] Re: Preseeding encrypted lvm fails instead of asking for password

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

I have a small patch that seems to do the trick at least for the
preseeded install so far, and doesn't appear to be breaking the non-
preseeded case. It's written for trusty for now, so I'll first need to
adapt it to vivid and spend more time testing it before we can look into
a SRU for the fix.

Title:
  Preseeding encrypted lvm fails instead of asking for password

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I was trying to preseed creating encrypted lvm for enabling unattended
  installation with ubiquity 2.18.8.2 (in trusty).

  The encryption password has NOT been preseeded. I was expecting a UI
  with a password prompt.

  The installation fails before partitioning with a message box:
  "Keyfile creation failed. An error occurred while creating the keyfile."
