** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: util-linux
  
  This could be a one-time bug, but I thought of reporting it. blkid did not list ANY of my devices.
  I was using gnome-terminal.
  
  forger at home-desktop:~$ blkid
  forger at home-desktop:~$ blkid
  forger at home-desktop:~$ blkid 
  forger at home-desktop:~$ blkid --help
  blkid: invalid option -- '-'
  blkid from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 (libblkid 2.17.0, 22-Mar-2010)
  Usage:
    blkid -L <label> | -U <uuid>
  
    blkid [-c <file>] [-ghlLv] [-o format] [-s <tag>] 
          [-t <token>] [-w <file>] [dev ...]
  
    blkid -p [-O <offset>] [-S <size>] [-o format] <dev> [dev ...]
  
  Options:
    -c <file>   cache file (default: /etc/blkid.tab, /dev/null = none)
    -h          print this usage message and exit
    -g          garbage collect the blkid cache
    -o <format> output format; can be one of:
                value, device, list, udev or full; (default: full)
    -s <tag>    show specified tag(s) (default show all tags)
    -t <token>  find device with a specific token (NAME=value pair)
    -l          lookup the the first device with arguments specified by -t
    -L <label>  convert LABEL to device name
    -U <uuid>   convert UUID to device name
    -v          print version and exit
    -w <file>   write cache to different file (/dev/null = no write)
    <dev>       specify device(s) to probe (default: all devices)
  
  Low-level probing options:
    -p          switch to low-level mode (bypass cache)
    -S <bytes>  overwrite device size
    -O <bytes>  probe at the given offset
    -u <list>   filter by "usage" (e.g. -u filesystem,raid)
  
  forger at home-desktop:~$ blkid -l
  The lookup option requires a search type specified using -t
