Package: encfs
Version: 1.9.1-3
Severity: serious
thanks

Recently, a change in Encfs was found to have broken cryptkeeper, causing it
to use the password 'p' for all operations, regardless of user input 
(#852751)[3].
The bug was closed by removing cryptkeeper from Debian.

The issue, however, remains. Sirikali, which manages multiple userspace
filesystems including Encfs, suffers from the same failure (#853874).
An upstream Encfs representative has indicated that the problem will be fixed
there [1], though no change has been pushed to date [2].

The overall issue should be RC critical for Stretch. I've marked this as 
'serious',
indicating that the problem will be fixed in Encfs for the Stretch release. If 
this
is not the case, close or demote, and I'll elevate in Sirikali.
