Description of problem:

The current version of cryptmount contains a bug which prevents the mounting of a LUKS volume as a non-root user.
It was reported here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=888444

The version that is currently in Cauldron, 5.3-1, includes a fix.

Please add it to Mageia 6 backports.

Providing backported packages implies volonteering to maintain them, and I have already enough work. Feel free to rebuild the source package directly yourself (I hope for you you didn't waited me to do it, BTW).

That is very true! It also sounds as if you don't have time (assuming that is possible at all) to cherry-pick the fix and push it as normal update for cryptmount.

Nick, feel free to ask in the forums or on a mailing list or on IRC if you need help.

You might also want to join the packager team to help maintain the software that is important for you, see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager


Reassigning to all packagers collectively, in the hope one of them has time to do this.

Mageia 6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-09-30. It is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan 
to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to 
a later Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we 
weren't able to fix it before Mageia 6's end of life. If you are able to 
reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click 
on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent
Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them
obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].
