Please unblock package grml-debootstrap The latest upload of dosfstools sadly broke grml-debootstrap's mkfs.fat usage (see #987014). It used to work fine until dosfstools 4.1: | root@grml ~ # mkfs.fat -F32 -n "EFI System Partition" /dev/loop1 | mkfs.fat 4.1 (2017-01-24) | mkfs.fat: warning - lowercase labels might not work properly with DOS or Windows Now with dosfstools v4.2 (as present in bullseye) it's failing though: | root@grml ~ # mkfs.fat -F32 -n "EFI System Partition" /dev/loop1 | mkfs.fat 4.2 (2021-01-31) | mkfs.fat: Label can be no longer than 11 characters This breaks installations with grml-debootstrap when EFI partitions are involved. debdiff between 0.95 and 0.96 as follows: diff -Nru grml-debootstrap-0.95/debian/changelog grml-debootstrap-0.96/debian/changelog --- grml-debootstrap-0.95/debian/changelog 2021-01-22 11:56:34.000000000 +0100 +++ grml-debootstrap-0.96/debian/changelog 2021-04-19 16:36:17.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,3 +1,10 @@ +grml-debootstrap (0.96) unstable; urgency=medium + + * [181ec9a] Use shorter fs label for EFI partition to not break with + recent dosfstools (Closes: #987014) + + -- Michael Prokop <m...@grml.org> Mon, 19 Apr 2021 16:36:17 +0200 + grml-debootstrap (0.95) unstable; urgency=medium * [3f28b11] Properly handle KEEP_SRC_LIST option when set to 'no' diff -Nru grml-debootstrap-0.95/grml-debootstrap grml-debootstrap-0.96/grml-debootstrap --- grml-debootstrap-0.95/grml-debootstrap 2021-01-20 11:17:36.000000000 +0100 +++ grml-debootstrap-0.96/grml-debootstrap 2021-04-19 16:36:17.000000000 +0200 @@ -980,7 +980,7 @@ einfo "EFI partition $EFI seems to have a FAT filesystem, not modifying." ; eend 0 else einfo "EFI partition $EFI doesn't seem to be formatted, creating filesystem." - mkfs.fat -F32 -n "EFI System Partition" "$EFI" + mkfs.fat -F32 -n "EFI" "$EFI" RC=$? if [ $RC -eq 0 ] ; then eend 0 unblock grml-debootstrap/0.96 Thanks for consideration! regards -mika-
