[Yaird-devel] Bug#516465: yaird: Installing linux image does not work when using a LUKS crypted root

[Martin Ketzer]

Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.13-5
Severity: important

When installing an kernel image in deb-format the installation fails with the following message. This even happens with a package that installed fine previously. Probably this is not related directly to yaird but i don't see how i can determine which package/program actually causes this.
