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

[dwmw2]

I think it's related to image size. Here's an image that mtools 4.0.32
fails on:

 $ fdisk -l foo.img
Disk foo.img: 69.89 MiB, 73285632 bytes, 143136 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Device     Boot Start    End Sectors  Size Id Type

Title:
  mtools 4.0.32 has a bug that is fixed in 4.0.33

Status in mtools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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?
