Smart IMO, but the distro installer likely did. If it is
a sane installer, it will have asked some time during the
installation whether to use LVM or plain old partitions.

What this means is that your LUKS container is in some LVM 
container and the distro-wrapper around cryptsetup does not 
manage to open it.

LVM makes things easier for generic installations, but it
also makes it more likely that things break and more 
difficult to fix when they do.
