[Bug 1921084] [NEW] Hirsute can not read FAT32

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

this bug is *NOT* related to the installer nor grub-install, in my
opinion.

Hirsute GParted can not read (and write??) data on any FAT32 partition.

In fact, GParted says:

"WARNING unable to read the contents of this (FAT32) file system!
Because of this some operations may be unavailable.  The cause might be
a missing software package.  The following list of software packages is
required for fat32 file system support:  dosfstools, mtools."

However, it appears that dosfstools and mtools packages are not missing,
therefore the bug is somewhere else.

If I remember correctly, this does not happen with Umate 20.04, only
Hirsute.

I replicate this bug with every new daily Hirsute build, including 24
March.

Easy to confirm by using GParted to select a FAT32 partition, right
click, select information.
