Description:
Formatting LUKS+ext4 partitions on GUID Partition Tables throws error: ******** Error setting partition type after formatting: Error setting partition flags on /dev/sdX1: Error spawning command-line `sgdisk --typecode 1:"XXXXX" "/dev/sdX"': Failed to execute child process "sgdisk" (No such file or directory) (g-exec-error-quark, 8) (udisks-error-quark, 0) ******** Partition SEEMS to work anyway. But. SOLVED by installing package "gptfdisk" (which provides the missing tool "sgdisk"). No more error message. -> gptfdisk should be added as gnome-disk-utility dependency. Additional info: * gnome-disk-utility 3.10.0-1 * gptfdisk 0.8.8-2 |
This task depends upon
gptfdisk contains small command line utilities with very few dependencies. It does no harm to depend on it, and it saves people's time because they don't need to investigate how to get rid of this confusing error message.
in a few words, gnome-disk-utility depends on gptfdisk
so
we can close the bug
