Public bug reported: Invoking ``sudo ecryptfs-recover-private `mktemp -d``` definitely doesn't return any usable result for `ecryptfs-recover-private` to work with, yet the output is
INFO: Found [/tmp/tmp.w1X2gBJiJC]. Try to recover this directory? [Y/n]: Y INFO: Could not find your wrapped passphrase file. INFO: To recover this directory, you MUST have your original MOUNT passphrase. INFO: When you first setup your encrypted private directory, you were told to record INFO: your MOUNT passphrase. INFO: It should be 32 characters long, consisting of [0-9] and [a-f]. Enter your MOUNT passphrase: Which is misleading ("INFO: Found [/tmp/tmp.w1X2gBJiJC]."). This is especially misleading if the user is uncertain about the right base directory for the recovery and relies on intuitive usage of the program.
