Do you mean "systemctl status cryptsetup.target"? If so I get the same
results here:

[colin at jimmy spec-helper]$ systemctl status cryptsetup.target
cryptsetup.target
	  Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory)
	  Active: inactive (dead)



This generally happens when a unit refers to a target as a dep but the
target itself is not defined.

This target itself does seem to be AWOL in the systemd-units package.
Seems like an unintended (or at least unannounced) change in systemd
187, so separate from the whole usr move thing, just related to a new
systemd version.

I'll investigate ASAP.
