Description:

After upgrading util-linux `sudo blockdev --report' returns the following:
blockdev: /dev/sda: failed to read partition start from sysfs: No such file or directory

This did not happen with the previous version which returned proper values.
It seems to have similarities with this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1202443
Actually, I experience the exact same thing.
`sudo blockdev --report /dev/sda1' returns proper value:
rw 1024 512 1024 63 197374464 /dev/sda1
I tested on two machines, both i686 and x86_64. Same result.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
2.26.1-3

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Run `sudo blockdev --report'
