The open with --type command was introduced later (so it is not yet in 1.1.2), 
you should use create or luksOpen command.

Also specify cipher only if you are sure that you understand consequences (use 
default). Your example (aes-plain) would end in insecure encryption vulnerable 
to watermarking attacks.

You should use your distro update and not to build package yourself 
(specifically here you could have problems with library API changes, 1.1.2 is 
quite old).
The vest is to ask on your distro related forums.

Anyway, this is not support forum but issue tracker. 
Please read FAQ, ducumentation included in tarball and use mailing list for 
these questions, thanks.
