Cannot install ecryptfs-utils

Hello,

OpenMandriva Lx version:
Operating System: OpenMandriva ROME 25.04
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4

Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):
Here is what happens when I try to uncrypt a directory:
[root@openmandriva-x8664 ~]# ecryptfs-recover-private /mnt/.ecryptfs/dom/.Private/
La commande ‘ecryptfs-recover-private’ peut être trouvée dans :
paquet ‘ecryptfs-utils’ (contrib)
Vous pouvez l’installer en tapant :
dnf install ecryptfs-utils
Voulez-vous l’installer ? (o/N)o
[root@openmandriva-x8664 ~]# Nothing happens if I answer ‘yes’ yo install ecryptfs-utils

I try now to install it directly :

[root@openmandriva-x8664 ~]# dnf install ecryptfs-utils
Dernière vérification de l’expiration des métadonnées effectuée il y a 0:24:21 le lun. 05 mai 2025 10:06:31.
Aucune correspondance pour le paramètre: ecryptfs-utils
Erreur : Impossible de trouver une correspondance: ecryptfs-utils
[root@openmandriva-x8664 ~]#

Relevant informations (hardware involved, software version, logs or output…):
I tried to add all repositories sources: same behavior.

Welcome! We are glad to see you here and hope you decide to make this your home.

I can verify, it is not in the repositories. You can file a package request for it if you like.

GitHub · Where software is built

If you don’t have a github account or don’t know how, just say so and one of us will do it for you, but you won’t get the automated emails from the process. Hint: the first one is hard. The second one is a piece of cake.

It looks like it comes from here. GitHub - dustinkirkland/ecryptfs-utils: git mirror of upstream bzr at http://launchpad.net/ecryptfs-utils and uses GPL-2.0 license.

We have a small team of volunteers, so it might take a while, so you may want to follow the instructions there to manually build and install it while you wait.

UPDATE: According to the devs we do have it and it has not been built/rebuilt in a long time. They are discussing it.
