[Bug 1822730] Re: Disco server install fails to boot using encrypted partitions

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package busybox - 1:1.27.2-2ubuntu7

---------------
busybox (1:1.27.2-2ubuntu7) disco; urgency=medium

  * Enable fold in busybox-initramfs, as it appears that
    initrmafs-tools-core now uses that variant of busybox, instead of
    busybox-static or busybox. Also, potentially cryptsetup dependencies
    on busybox-static|busybox are now meaningless. LP: #1822730

Title:
  Disco server install fails to boot using encrypted partitions

Status in busybox package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Performing a fresh Disco (daily build from 2019-03-31) server install
  with / mounted from LVM over dm-crypt (over mdadm), the boot fails
  just after asking the encrypted partition passphrase with the
  following error:

  /scripts/local-top/cryptroot: line 1: fold: not found

  Building a custom busybox package with "fold" binary enabled for
  busybox-initramfs and busybox-static configs fixes the issue.

  It might be enough to add "fold" to the initramfs variant only.
