Following up on my own bug report:

This seems to be a generic GBDE error message breakage. Here I change
key 0's passphrase and key file.

# gbde setkey da0p1 -n 0 -l da0p1.lock -k rat.jpg -L da0p1.lock-new
Enter passphrase:
Opened with key 0
Enter new passphrase:
Reenter new passphrase:

I now have a new lock file with a new passphrase. Let's try the old
key file and see what happens. It appears to work, except it doesn't.

# gbde attach da0p1 -l da0p1.lock -k rat.jpg
Enter passphrase:
# ls /dev/da0p1*
/dev/da0p1
# gbde detach da0p1
gbde: Detach of da0p1 failed: Geom not found: "da0p1.bde"

The new lock file and passphrase do work.

I would have expected the attach command to call me an idiot rather
than fail silently. An ignorant, uneducated, non-programmer look at
the code encourages my belief.

Bug report updated.
