Package: libdevmapper1.02
Version: 2:1.02.08-1
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss
This invocation has been unlocking my encrypted partition successfully for
years:
cryptsetup create backcrypt /dev/sda2
Now it gives me the following error:
device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
and I am unable to access the data on the encrypted partition.
This broke sometime in the past month

This package is not available in any supported Debian versions.

No, this only breaks the access to it.

You could start with bugging the package the creates the error
(cryptsetup) and provide further information like kernel log (where the
error originates).
