[Bug 1300361] Re: cannot format when no partition table is present

[Timo Jyrinki]

Yu: I'm not sure so this is pure guessing, but bug #1059872 mentions
another package, util-linux, in a related problem that has a fix in
utopic but not yet in trusty. Of course, the whole new util-linux can't
be SRU:d to trusty, but I wonder if that single fix "wipefs properly
cleans up fs signatures" could be found, and would it help with this?

Or maybe there's something else in https://code.launchpad.net/~usb-
creator-hackers/usb-creator/trunk needed that hasn't been backported to
trusty, since there are quite many commits.
