I uninstalled cryptsetup and now I cannot boot the system.
Re: I uninstalled cryptsetup and now I cannot boot the syste
What about your backup? Most of us have bombed our system and lost data. When it's bad enough we learn to back up.
This may be time to use a rescue CD to boot the system and reinstall cryptsetup.

Re: I uninstalled cryptsetup and now I cannot boot the syste
Of course you cannot open an encrypted device without cryptsetup.
So I guess the boot is stuck into the initramfs shell ?
What did you uninstall exactly ? There are several cryptsetup* packages :
cryptsetup : dummy transitional package which depends on cryptsetup-initramfs and cryptsetup-run
cryptsetup-run : startup scripts for encrypted (non-root/hibernation) devices
cryptsetup-initramfs : cryptsetup integration into the initramfs for root/hibernation devices
cryptsetup-bin : the actual cryptsetup tool
If you removed cryptsetup-initramfs, then the initramfs for the current kernel is rebuilt without cryptsetup. But if there is an older kernel, maybe its initramfs was not rebuilt and still has cryptsetup. Otherwise, you have to boot another system which has cryptsetup (live system, Debian installer in rescue mode...), open the encrypted device, chroot into the installed system, and reinstall the missing packages.
