[Bug 2010598] [NEW] mtools 4.0.32 has a bug that is fixed in 4.0.33

[Ilias Stamatis]

Public bug reported:

On Ubuntu 22.04.2 with the default mtools version
4.0.33-1+really4.0.32-1build1.

The mformat tool from the above package fails in a way that wasn't
failing before.

```
Warning: no active (bootable) partition present
Weird: read size (142561) not a multiple of sector size (512)
buffer_flush: short write
Error writing boot sector
```

This is working fine with my previous old version mtools 4.0.18 and also
with the real 4.0.33 version (not the "really" version).

I can't point you to the exact commit that fixes this bug because GNU
mtools doesn't seem to have a public git tree.

Can we please ship version 4.0.33 rather than 4.0.32 with Ubuntu 22.04?
