Dear Maintainer,

   I was trying to create a new vault, and When I clicked the 'Add'
   button, I got the setup window, as expected. THe issue is that the
   setup window only has the 'name' field, and nothing else. Hence, the
   'Back' and 'Forwards' Buttons were greyed out, making me unable to
   continue. I tried reinstalling the package, installing/ reinstalling
   dependencies, running `apt satisfy`, as well as searching the
   internet for my issue. None of these solutions helped. I had expected
   the `plasma-vault` creation to work again and allow me to create a
   new vault.

Starting from plasma-vault 6.4.0 it only supports gocryptfs backend. It's a
hard dependency. All packages (including 6.7.4-1 from sid) list gocryptfs
as a suggestion, rather than dependency (see below).

cryfs dependency should be replaced with gocryptfs, and the latter should
be removed from suggestions.

Installing gocryptfs manually fixes the issue.
