Description: When creating a new encrypted container with exFAT file system, Veracrypt fails with error message saying that mkfs.exfat binary is missing. This is due to the package exfat-utils has not been installed.

Additional info:
* Package veracrypt-1.22-1

Steps to reproduce:
Clean installation of Arch Linux as of today.
Install veracrypt with "sudo pacman -S veracrypt".
Try to create a file based container and select exFAT as the file system.

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  veracrypt doesn't depend on any filesystem binary now and just adding mkfs.exfat doesn't lead anywhere

This sounds more like a common sense thing. If you want to create a filesystem, you need the tools for that filesystem no matter what interfaces you're using.
