Package: di-utils-mkfs
Version: 0.16
Severity: normal
Running "Create a file system" (di-utils-mkfs) on a drive
with no partitions causes this error:
di-utils-mkfs's postinst exited with status 5120
The fix is either to tell the user that there are no partitions,
or (IMHO the preferred way for experts) allow the user to create
a file system on the whole disk. Theoretical (untested) fix
below.
