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.

Good, that's what should happen.

You want less information?  Then just cover up half your monitor. :-)
