After upgrading to Manjaro 26.0.0 I find a bitlocker partition to be not working. It is basically a thumb drive with multiple bitlocker partitions, but strangely only one partition won’t open after the upgrade.
For verification, I checked the same thumb drive on a different Manjaro machine, which has not yet conducted the same update. The problematic partition opens there without any problems.
One additional observation:
If I open the partition via command line, I am not prompted for a passphrase. The command temrinates without error. If I open a working partition on the same thumb drive, I am asked for the passphrase as expected.
This is my system:
