Hm, *I* can't.

AFAI understand: that newline was handled in a different way with
pam_mount-1.33, back then the ssl-decrypted key was fed into cryptsetup
and now that isn't done anymore. Back then the key was modified by
cryptsetup, and now, as cryptsetup isn't in the whole "chain" anymore,
the key is not modified (or at least in another way) so it doesn't fit
the key as it was at creation-time.

That is what I understand, pls correct me, Jan ;-)

Sorry, no idea.

I suggest you start a new thread for your issue and provide us with more
details.
