Package: dosfstools Version: 4.2-1.2 Severity: normal File: /usr/sbin/fsck.fat X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, dosfsck is very broken. Some of the brokenness is described here: https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/a/32298/418 I have been working on a solution (that just so happens to also solve #384976 and #771091), but it's going to be wildly controvesal, and the result I expect is at least two solutions appear with different base properties from completely different source trees. However dosfsck is installed with fsck.fat being the actual binary and the others as symbolic links to that. Which is no good at all for switching out binaries. In any case, with the estimated number being three, dpkg-divert won't work anymore; and /etc/alternatives is necessary. -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.12.57+deb13-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dosfstools depends on: ii libc6 2.41-12 dosfstools recommends no packages. dosfstools suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
