Description:
As VeraCrypt version 1.26.7 (which was released on 2023-10-01) removed support for TrueCrypt Mode and also RIPEMD160 and GOST89 algorithms, version 1.25.9 must be used to mount or convert old TrueCrypt volumes. So, please consider splitting this package to something like 'veracrypt' and 'veracrypt-legacy' or 'veracrypt-truecrypt-compat'.
This task depends upon

An alternative would be a NEWS post warning of the need to convert veracrypt volumes using TrueCrypt, RIPEMD160 or GOST89 before updating to 1.26.7.
veracrypt-1.25.9 could be created and maintained in AUR.
