Package: dosfstools
Version: 2.10-1
Severity: critical
Tags: sarge patch
Justification: causes serious data loss
cause: dosfsck does not recognize deleted files as deleted.
this can occur on filesystems that are NOT corrupt
if allowed to fix the filesystem (such as from the boot script)
causes DATA LOSS
Probably the same as closed #294177.
But the problem is not amd64 specific, it is triggered by current toolchain.
i386 binary package from Sep 2003 is not affected,
but after rebuild (i.e. by security team, by end user) will be.
