v6.3.0 appears to fix the issues mentioned recently. Here's a diff for the PKGBUILD:

I do not know whether this is the right place to report this problem, but any suggestions would be helpful.

After upgrading Arch Linux earlier this month, cryptmount stopped working. More precisely, cryptmount decrypts the Luks encrypted partition and creates the device mapper /dev/mapper/xxx correctly, but it does not mount this at the cmtab mount point. Therefore when cryptmount runs e2fsck, the latter reports the error:

Error determining size of the physical device: No such file or directory

If I do sudo mount /dev/mapper/xxx /mnt/mountpoint after cryptmount has exited with the above error, then the mount succeeds and everything is fine.

I downgraded the three dependencies of cryptmount (libgcrypt, device-mapper, util-linux) and also reinstalled cryptmount, but these did not solve the problem.

Hi, a member of the Manjaro community has come up with a patch for the config.guess file present in the source tar.gz archive. The patch enables the detection of aarch64 hardware:

Currently, config.guess cannot detect detect aarch64 hardware, and the installation fails.

Until now, I've been working around this with a crude PKGBUILD, but it would be nice to be able to retire it.

Package is currently broken for me.

Changing the source to http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/cryptmount/cryptmount/cryptmount-5.2/cryptmount-5.2.3.tar.gz and updating the md5sums fixes this.

In addition to v5.2.2 being released, util-linux 2.30 removed the "Provides: util-linux-ng" tag and cryptmount's runtime dependency needs to be updated. Furthermore, I suggest exchanging the role of $pkgver and $_pkgver in the PKGBUILD.

Made Jonathan's proposed change.

Jonathan commented on 2014-12-30 20:06 (UTC)

Cryptmount's configure script defaults installation to /usr/sbin which appears to be a no longer valid install path in Arch ( https://www.archlinux.org/news/binaries-move-to-usrbin-requiring-update-intervention/ ). I recommend adding the --sbindir= flag when running the configure script to force installation into /usr/bin. For example: build() { cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver" ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --sbindir=/usr/bin make }

neocturne commented on 2013-06-05 20:28 (UTC)

Please mark /etc/cryptmount/cmtab as a backup file, it's really annoying that it's lost after every update...

Updated to v4.1. There are still a couple of NAMCAP warnings to fix when I get a chance.
