Package: gdisk
Version: 1.0.7-1

Hi,
I wanted to let you know that the recent FTFBS on s390x in Debian [1]
and Ubuntu [2] is caused by a try to fix big endian byte swapping in
1.0.7 that actually made it break.

When you look at the logs it seems it is just failing for no apparent reason,
but with -x enabled in gdisk_test.sh one quickly sees there is some
string-mangling happening:

Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
   1            2048          131038   63.0 MiB    8300  䰀椀渀甀砀 昀椀氀攀猀礀猀琀攀洀

Reading the very same file with the old gdisk is good - so likely the
on-dis content is good as well:
Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
   1            2048          131038   63.0 MiB    8300  Linux filesystem

This is caused by GPTPart::GetDescription due to this change [3] in 1.0.7

Reverting this fixes change fixes the problem, so that is what I'd
suggest for the gdisk package that is stuck in unstable due to that.

P.S. I've reported the same upstream as well but their archive seems
slow to pick it up, so there is no linkable reference yet.
