Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
     In a multi-boot system, os-prober does not list those encrypted partitions
     with other OSs that are manually connected.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
     Connecting the partition with: sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 sda1
     Confirmed that the partition was mapped in /dev/mapper: ls /dev/mapper
   * What was the outcome of this action?
     os-prober returned empty
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
     Listing the OS information in /dev/mapper/sda1
