What's wrong with the version you currently have?
Just because the current source/binaries appear somewhat suspicious
doesn't mean (for now) that the older version you have isn't good.
Or have I missed something?

I have just moved across to the new version of Xubuntu 14.04 LTS. I
installed it as a dual boot with the previous version I was using. At
the moment I do not have Truecrypt installed in this new version.
Before I got round to doing that I noticed some reports that Truecrypt
is no longer being maintained and, more to the point, no longer
considered safe. The recommendation seems to be to forget TC and to
look elsewhere. Hence the question.
