PSA for those using encrypted filesystems on jammy

Hello all,

If you are running an encrypted root filesystem on jammy, please be aware of an issue with cryptsetup and busybox not working well together. The issue stems from a recent cryptsetup upload that requires the busybox-initramfs to contain the dirname applet. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/busybox/+bug/1960083 for more information.

The best way to avoid this issue is to avoid upgrading cryptsetup until busybox can also be upgraded.

Thank you,

William 'jawn-smith' Wilson
