SERIOUS LUKS problem with the last upgrade!!!

Its a lot of time that I don't write nothing, but the last upgrade generate a high critical situation with my system. Despite the icu update that make unusable chrome, libxml that make unusable libreoffice, etc... the SERIOUS thin problem is that I'm NO LONGER able to read encrypted HD, both internal and external!!!

When I try to mount an encrypted device (via LUKS), I have this message: "Error unlocking /dev/sdc: The function 'bd_crypto_luks_open_blob' called, but not implemented!"

I tried to downgrade but nothing to do: all is locked. Somebody have a solution? I cannot stay without the notebook and for me its a great problem also cause, due to this f.....k virus, all is closed and I cannot move.

Thanks' a lot for the help!

This last upgrade create a lot of problems of compatibility with libreoffice, chromium, gimp, kate and probably other programs that I didn't test. To solve the situation I downgraded all the update but this create problems with json-c that is used from luks.
Situation solved, now remain the incompatibility between the new update and libreoffice, gimp, etc...

This is not the first time that, when there are icu, harfbuzz and libxml2 update, there are compatibility problems with some very used application. Maybe something to verify, before to send the upgrade in the stable. Anyway, always a GREAT work.

I'm not sure if this bug report on Arch linux is related, but it sounds like an upstream issue with cryptsetup.

The new icu/etc. have all been in our repos in a long while. I guess maybe you somehow caught the Arch mirror syncing/updating but not the Artix one? By the time you made this post, I definitely would have expected everything to be synced already though. Please let us know if there's something bad with one of the Artixlinux mirrors.

Now, here, unlike that other thread, there's a user that is patient and polite despite having experienced a really serious problem that kept him locked out of his tool of work for a while and would be totally excused if he had ranted.

Contrast this with the "WAAAAAHHHH, GWENVIEW COLORS ARE BROKEN AND YOU DON'T DELETE ITS CONFIG FILE FOR ME" attitude.

Nous, I can only be polite and patient! You are doing a GREAT work with Artix and I got less problem than with the previous Linux version that I used; no name please  :)

Before this problem don't exist for me cause I had a "test notebook" and a "work notebook", now the "test notebook" is crashed (I'm very sad about that...  :) ) and, due to this f....k virus, to buy a new one is not so simple. I'll do next week.
