Public bug reported: Availability ============ Built for all supported architectures. In sync with Debian.
Rationale ========= udisks2 2.7 uses the "libblockdev library for all low level storage management tasks instead of calling command line tools." libblockdev appears to have the same maintainers ("storaged project") as udisks2. It would be nice to have the new version to support GNOME Disks 3.26's new Resize and Repair features. http://pothos.blogsport.eu/2017/08/22/last-project-phase-and-3-26-features/ There is some interest in dropping Gparted from the Ubuntu live ISO since it does not support Wayland and it still uses gtk2.

See http://storaged.org/libblockdev/ch03.html No autopkgtests Dependencies ============ Debian's udisks2 recommends libblockdev-plugins-all which depends on these binary packages: - libblockdev-crypto2 which depends on the universe libvolume-key1 (source: volume-key) - libblockdev-btrfs2 which depends on the universe libbytesize1 (source: libbytesize) - libblockdev-kbd2 which depends on the universe libbytesize1 (source: libbytesize) - libblockdev-mdraid2 which depends on the universe libbytesize1 (source: libbytesize) libbytesize is another storaged project. Neither libbytesize nor volume- key have any other universe binary dependencies. It might be ok to temporarily not recommend those udisks2 plugins until the other 2 MIRs are processed.
