I am using Yocto Warrior on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and the meta-tegra layer ( https://github.com/madisongh/meta-tegra ) to build a root file system for my NVIDIA Jetson Nano.
I want to encrypt a certain partition on my SD Card and so I need the cryptsetup package which is available in openembedded layer. I have already added it to my image and the resulting root file system has it installed.
The problem is that I need to add it to my initramfs in order to decrypt my encrypted volume automatically on boot.
The error I get is shown as:

Error Summary
-------------
I add the cryptsetup to my bbappend file for the initramfs recipe like this ( shown is the entire bbappend file ):
PACKAGE_INSTALL_append = " e2fsprogs-e2fsck e2fsprogs-mke2fs e2fsprogs-tune2fs e2fsprogs-badblocks"
PACKAGE_INSTALL_append = " i2c-tools"
PACKAGE_INSTALL_append = " openssl"
PACKAGE_INSTALL_append = " cryptsetup"
If I comment out the cryptsetup line, the initramfs task completes just fine.
Here is the non-appended, original recipe file for the initramfs from meta-tegra:
DESCRIPTION = "Minimal initramfs image for Tegra platforms"
LICENSE = "MIT"
TEGRA_INITRD_INSTALL ??= ""
INITRD_FSTYPES ??= "${INITRAMFS_FSTYPES}"
PACKAGE_INSTALL = "\
tegra-firmware-xusb \
tegra-minimal-init \
${TEGRA_INITRD_INSTALL} \
"
IMAGE_FEATURES = ""
IMAGE_LINGUAS = ""
COPY_LIC_MANIFEST = "0"
COPY_LIC_DIRS = "0"
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "(tegra)"
KERNELDEPMODDEPEND = ""
IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE = "8192"
#IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE = "16384"
inherit core-image
IMAGE_FSTYPES = "${INITRD_FSTYPES}"
How can I add cryptsetup to the initramfs recipe successfully?
I've had the same exact error message, except it was triggered by a different recipe (not cryptsetup, but some custom recipe).
The problem is that both recipes (tegra-minimal-init_1.0.bb) and base-files_3.0.14.bb try to create the '/sys and '/proc' dirs, but with different permissions (one with 0755, the other with 0555).
What solved it was simply removing the dir creation in tegra-minimal-init_1.0.bb:
[eliranl@somehost]$ git diff
diff --git a/meta-tegra/recipes-core/initrdscripts/tegra-minimal-init_1.0.bb b/meta-tegra/recipes-core/initrdscripts/tegra-minimal-init_1.0.bb

Alternatively, you can upgrade to 'dunfell', as it was fixed there by changing tegra-minimal-init_1.0.bb to create '/proc' and '/sys' with same permissions as in base-files, or just backport this part from the specific commit:
