Package: partman-auto Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
It looks like partman-auto, in the recipe-amd64-efi recipes, uses "free" rather than say, "fat32" as a partition type for the EFI partitions it tries to create. This has the unfortunate side-effect of not letting partman-efi do all that it may try to do, such as setting a name for the EFI partition (see partman-efi's update.d/efi_sync_flag). This happens because decode_recipe defaults to using 'ext2' to describe that partition, which doesn't match partman-efi's checks. A patch is attached. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers vivid-updates APT policy: (500, 'vivid-updates'), (500, 'vivid-security'), (500, 'vivid'), (100, 'vivid-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.19.0-15-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
