Cryptroot-unlock Timeout on askpass

[Luke Flinders]

Hi Guilhem,

Thanks for getting back to me, I have raised a bug with the format provided below, I believe the issue is in cryptsetup as this was updated during the time between not having the issue and it appearing. Where, as far as I can tell, dropbear was not patched.

Package: cryptsetup 
Version:2:2.1.0

Error message is;
Error: Timeout reached while waiting for askpass

Command run is;
cryptroot-unlock

kernel is;
4.19.37-5

C version;
2.28-10

I am pretty sure that the upgrade from cryptsetup 2:2.0.6 to the version above caused this issue.

Kind regards,

Luke Flinders

That feature isn't developed nor maintained by dropbear's upstream maintainer, but by the Debian package maintainer (who happens to be me right now).  Could please you file a bug against the ‘dropbear-initramfs’
package (or the ‘cryptsetup-initramfs’ package if you believe the problem is in `cryptroot-look`) at the Debian BTS? https://bugs.debian.org/

We'll likely need some details about your setup.  reportbug(1) will automatically fill a template with the relevant details.

Thanks!
Cheers,
