Ulrike, do you think you can take care of it before this package gets auto-removed from testing (November 17)? Let me know if you need help: I'll be super busy next week but I can probably sneak this in if needed. For example, I could take care of cleaning up the new debian/changelog entries, which seems to be the only not-100%-mechanical part of the work needed to import the package into Debian in the case at hand. Usually it would be good to refresh the packaging while we're at it (Standards-Version & various issues spotted by Lintian) but given the auto-removal deadline is approaching fast, let's please prioritize uploading the new upstream release over such polishing :) Cheers, -- intrigeri

Hi, intrig...@debian.org: > But fixing legacy BIOS boot requires fixes in udisks2 and libblockdev > which have been submitted to the corresponding projects already: > - https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/pull/416 > - https://github.com/storaged-project/libblockdev/pull/288 Both were merged, part of new upstream releases, and have landed in sid. So we're now only waiting for the tails-installer fixes to be released upstream and then uploaded to Debian. Cheers, -- intrigeri
Bug#878040: tails-installer: Creates non-bootable USB sticks on current testing/sid
Package: tails-installer Version: 4.4.18+dfsg-1 Severity: serious Tags: upstream X-Debbugs-Cc: ano...@riseup.net Hi! Since a recent udisks2 update in Debian testing/sid, Tails Installer creates USB sticks that are bootable neither with legacy BIOS (because of the lack of the "legacy BIOS boot" GPT flag) nor with UEFI (because the system partition has not the ESP type). A workaround already implemented upstream (not released yet) will fix UEFI boot; it should be released by mid-November to the latest. But fixing legacy BIOS boot requires fixes in udisks2 and libblockdev which have been submitted to the corresponding projects already: - https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/pull/416 - https://github.com/storaged-project/libblockdev/pull/288 The corresponding Tails upstream bug is: https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/14809 Stretch is not affected. Cheers, -- intrigeri
