[Dev] cryptsetup-2.0.0-1 makes system unbootable.

[Attic Hermit]

Dear Parabola hackers.

I think there's a bug in the latest update related with cryptsetup and
linux-libre-4.14.4_gnu-1, which makes fully encrypted systems
unbootable.

My system configuration is like below:

/dev/sda1 : GRUB-BIOS
/dev/sda2 : /boot (plain)
/dev/sda3 : /     (encrypted)

The latest update of Parabola makes my system unbootable. When I booted
the system, system kept prompting that the kernel doesn't support
aes-xts-plain. So I booted into the system with the rescue USB thumb,
and tried to reinstall the kernel, linux-libre-4.14.4_gnu-1 and saw the
error like below:

[2017-12-13 13:38] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] ==> ERROR: binary dependency `libcryptsetup.so.4' not found for `/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd'
[2017-12-13 13:38] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] ==> ERROR: binary dependency `libcryptsetup.so.4' not found for `/usr/bin/udevadm'
[2017-12-13 13:38] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] ==> ERROR: binary dependency `libcryptsetup.so.4' not found for `/usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles'

I thought the above was probably caused by cryptsetup-2.0.0-1 which
updated recently, so I downgraded it to cryptsetup-1.7.5-2 and
reinstalled the kernel, and successfully booted into the system.

Here's the full log message where I got the error:

P.S. I'm not confident that this is the right ML to post a bug like
this.
