Public bug reported:
I have a dump from an M.5 drive named "/dev/nvme0n1" that I wanted to
apply to a regular SCSI drive /dev/sdc. This got the GPT built but when
it tried to work on partitions, it failed, giving the error message
sfdisk: failed to parse partition number: '/dev/sdc'
This is probably due to the oddity of drive names for M.5 drives -- they
end in a digit, so a "p" is inserted before the actual partition
numbers. So the first partition may appear to be "p1" instead of "1".
I know, I ran into it working on some software of my own.
Anyway, the dump is attached. Try applying it to a regular "/dev/sd?"
drive and you will prpbably see the same thing.
