This bug is not fixed. I just hit it upgrading an up-to-date Wheezy to Jessie.
After reading through the bug discussion, I think the problem is that in a major upgrade, it's impossible to load the fuse module because the kernel version is wrong. So if it needs the module loaded, the test will always fail (with the wrong and misleading error message). After reading the bug report I uninstalled fuse and sshfs, rebooted so I'd be running the right kernel, then re-installed fuse. That gave warnings: cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of /dev/sda5 cryptsetup: WARNING: could not determine root device from /etc/fstab but otherwise seems to have worked. Along the way I also discovered my /dev/MAKEDEV was a symlink to /bin/true and I didn't have /sbin/MAKEDEV. So I installed the makedev package hoping that would cure the fuse problem, before I found out about it needing the module loaded. I still don't know if it would have worked after a reboot with /dev/MAKEDEV missing; I'm guessing not, and if that's the case maybe it should have a dependency on the makedev package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
