Hi,
I'd like to fix an installation issue where some devices get their boot
firmware area clobbered. We guard against mmcblk0 only, and this fix
extends the guard to any mmcblk device. Tiny fix for the relevant log
included along in the same commit.
Changelog entry:
| partman-base (191+deb9u1) stretch; urgency=medium
|
| [ Karsten Merker ]
| * For systems that are known to have their boot firmware on an mmcblk
| device, protect the firmware area on all mmcblk devices (and not
| only on mmcblk0) from being clobbered during guided partitioning
| and add missing whitespace to the corresponding log output.
| (Closes: #854822)

Thanks for considering.
KiBi.
