The process to create a Loop-AES disc is a little random:
What does the -d option do on your dist? On mine it does not exit.
# mkfs -t ext2 /dev/loop1 losetup -d /dev/loop1
mkfs.ext2: invalid option -- d
Usage: mkfs.ext2 [-c|-t|-l filename] [-b block-size] [-f fragment-size]
[-i bytes-per-inode] [-I inode-size] [-j] [-J journal-options]
[-N number-of-inodes] [-m reserved-blocks-percentage] [-o creator-os]
[-g blocks-per-group] [-L volume-label] [-M last-mounted-directory]
[-O feature[,...]] [-r fs-revision] [-R options] [-qvSV]
device [blocks-count]
module-assistant prepare module-assistant build loop-aes
Expected output?
Mine gave this, but I don't know if it worked:
# module-assistant prepare module-assistant build loop-aes

* You listed this command:
apt-get install loop-aes-utils module-assistant install loop-aes
It won't work. You repeated install twice. loop-aes: What is the repository. I can only see it available from the web page on Sourceforge.
However, still a useful page and I found out about FUSE filesystems. Thank-you.
