Package: di-utils-mkfs Version: 0.16 Severity: normal Running "Create a file system" (di-utils-mkfs) on a drive with no partitions causes this error:
di-utils-mkfs's postinst exited with status 5120 The fix is either to tell the user that there are no partitions, or (IMHO the preferred way for experts) allow the user to create a file system on the whole disk. Theoretical (untested) fix below.
