Bug Description

This is the system I was running when it happened:

- Kubuntu 20.10 install with default encryption settings (LUKS, whole disk)
- upgrade to 21.04
- on Monday March 1 2021 an lvm2 update came in
- after a reboot, get dropped into initramfs

I am attaching a screenshot of the initramfs prompt reproduced by a colleague. I have since wiped the system as it is my main work machine. The data itself was not corrupted (could still mount the partitions/volumes).

I would suspect the issue is brought by https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/lvm2_2.03.11-2ubuntu1_2.03.11-2ubuntu2.diff.gz which is a debdiff hidden by the no change rebuild that happened after.

Screenshot is from my system. It's my secondary system, so I can keep it to debug. But I don't know what to do to get past this initramfs prompt. I'm stuck.
