Bug Description
I do the following steps:
1) installed encfs package
2) added my user to "fuse" group
3) restarted the session
4) verified that ~/.crypt ~/crypt do not exist
5) tried the simple command:
encfs ~/.crypt ~/crypt
at this point the application write the following string to the terminal:
La directory "/home/
As you can see the string is in italian, and so are the proposed answers: s = Sì = Yes, n = No.
If a answer "s" <enter>, che application fails with the following error:
Directory non creata.
10:07:27 (main.cpp:408) Impossibile localizzare la cartella di root, annullato.
I have found a work-around: if I answer "y" <enter> to this first question, and the same to the second question regarding the creation of the mount-point, all goes well.
So it is a localization problem, and I think should be resolved.
