Package: gdisk
Version: 1.0.9-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch upstream
X-Debbugs-Cc: ja...@french.id.au
Due to an update to libuuid, gdisk fails to find the library and is using
fallback UUID generation which may have incompatibility issues:
Warning! Unable to generate a proper UUID! Creating an improper one as a last
resort! Windows 7 may crash if you save this partition table!
This has been fixed upstream in commit 6a8416cbd12d55f882bb751993b94f72d338d96f
the patch applies cleanly against 1.0.9 guid.cc.
Ref:
https://sourceforge.net/p/gptfdisk/code/ci/6a8416cbd12d55f882bb751993b94f72d338d96f/
I suggest that the upstream patch be included in Debian's package until 1.10 is
released and packaged.
