[Bug 1361474] Re: Error erasing device when there is dos partition table but no partition

[Yu Ning]

Martin Pitt, thank you very much. For trusty I had proposed a patch
about a month ago, although it's mixed with something for another patch,
could you or anyone review it?

BTW, I still can't find the "Target to series" link on the page, weird.
