I am running Fedora Rawhide on a PPC-based computer.  When I try to
rpmbuild cryptosetup I get:

[...]
checking for dm_task_set_name in -ldevmapper... no
configure: error: You need libdevmapper to compile.
error: Bad exit status from /tmp/rpm-tmp.66119 (%build)
 
 
RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /tmp/rpm-tmp.66119 (%build)
[...]

I have device-mapper Fedora Rawhide's 1.00.14-1.0 installed.  Are you
using a stock Red Hat device-mapper package?

Your other two source RPMs build and install fine.

Are you planning on getting your packages into Fedora Extras to start
with?  I would be happy to QA them if you are.

Given that I entered "Losetup and util-linux are not crypto aware
(#56698)" into Red Hat's bugzilla late in 2001, I am also very interested
in seeing this resolved in Fedora!
