Basically, yes.

You have somewhere in PATH new cryptsetup tool, but in lib dir old libcryptsetup.

(If you installed it manually, it can by in various non-standard locations, so
the best is check "which cryptsetup" (or "type -p cryptsetup") and remove it
from there manually, then reinstall the version from your distribution.

Usually we are backward compatible, but it is really not a good idea to combine
different version of libcryptsetup and cryptsetup.

(IOW what you see is the "correct" error caused by library symbols versioning
to prevent a malfunction :-)
