[Bug 1944741] Re: HiFive Unmatched partitions are named "Unleashed"

Tue Nov 9 08:05:42 UTC 2021

This bug was fixed in the package util-linux - 2.37.2-4ubuntu1

---------------
util-linux (2.37.2-4ubuntu1) jammy; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - Build hwclock with audit support.
    - Drop debian/hwclock.rules and debian/util-linux.hwclock.default, recent
      kernels sync the RTC automatically.
    - Add sulogin-fallback-static-sh.patch: Add support for /bin/static-sh as
      fallback if the regular shell fails to execute. Patch ported from
      sysvinit. (see LP #505887)
    - Add sulogin-lockedpwd.patch: Make sure file systems can be fixed on
      machines with locked root accounts (as Ubuntu does by default). Don't
      require --force for sulogin.
    - Clean up weekly fstrim cron file, now a systemd timer unit.
    - Allow to build without udeb packages.
    - Update translations after changes to HiFive partition names

Bug description:
  [Impact]                                                                         

  Both HiFive Unleashed and HiFive Unmatched bootloaders seek for the same         
  UUIDs to load the next stage bootloader: the current name makes partitions       
  on Unmatched board appear as 'Unleashed'.                                        

  This issue gives the feeling that the Ubuntu RISC-V images made specifically     
  for those 2 boards were assembled in a rushed manner.                            

  The attached patch fixes this by removing the 'Unleashed' part of the current    
  name so that it fits both, it was build againt all architectures here:

          Partition table entries are not in disk order.                           

  [Where problems could occur]                                                     

  We may expect regressions if one uses fdisk output (ie the partition names       
  instead of the UUIDs) in her software: this risk is mitigated by the fact the    
  upstream accepted the patch and then does not expect this interface to be        
  immutable and that RISC-V is not widely used yet.                                

  [Other Info]                                                                     

  None.                                                                            

  === old bug description ===                                                      
  Both HiFive Unleashed and HiFive Unmatched bootloaders seek for the same         
  UUIDs to load the next stage bootloader: the current name makes partitions       
  on Unmatched board appear as 'Unleashed'.                                        

  Fix that by removing the 'Unleashed' part of the current name so that it         
  fits both.                                                                       

  The attached debdiff contains the patch that was merged upstream (https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/commit/10fd91d389497d8be435cc66abbdeb2eb6ea2f07).
