Public bug reported: I have a dump from an M.5 drive named "/dev/nvme0n1" that I wanted to apply to a regular SCSI drive /dev/sdc. This got the GPT built but when it tried to work on partitions, it failed, giving the error message sfdisk: failed to parse partition number: '/dev/sdc'
This is probably due to the oddity of drive names for M.5 drives -- they end in a digit, so a "p" is inserted before the actual partition numbers. So the first partition may appear to be "p1" instead of "1". I know, I ran into it working on some software of my own. Anyway, the dump is attached. Try applying it to a regular "/dev/sd?" drive and you will prpbably see the same thing.
