Bug ID: 15703
Summary: Resolve sgdisk UUID warning in gptfdisk package
Product: buildroot
Version: 2023.02.3
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Outdated package
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---

When using any option that generates a random UUID using sgdisk (e.g. sgdisk -G /dev/sda) you are presented with the warning:
Warning! Unable to generate a proper UUID! Creating an improper one as a last resort! Windows 7 may crash if you save this partition table!

This appears to stem from a change in libuuid where a #define was changed:
https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/commit/10f5f79485964ab52272ebe79c3b0047b1f84d82

Upstream gptfdisk has resolved this issue on 2022-04-16 (and a few others since) but these patches haven't yet made it into the buildroot package. Upstream commit:
https://sourceforge.net/p/gptfdisk/code/ci/6a8416cbd12d55f882bb751993b94f72d338d96f/
