When upgrading the system with the following line in /etc/fstab, it fails because dosfslabel is not installed.
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1 vfat sync,dirsync,noatime,users,noauto,rw,noexec,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,fmask=0133,shortname=lower 0 0
I got the following message:
Configuring linux-base
Failed to update disk device IDs
An error occurred while attempting to update the system configuration:
Can't exec "dosfslabel": No such file or directory at
/var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-base.postinst line 1046, <STDIN> line 10.
dosfslabel failed: -1 at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-base.postinst line
1046, <STDIN> line 10.
You can either correct this error and retry the automatic update, or
choose to update the system configuration yourself.
I would expect a normal message that the conversion can not be done, instead of the current message.
