No, the point is that mkfs.exfat is provided by exfat-utils as well as
exfatprogs, I guess udisks could add '| exfatprogs' to its suggests but
that's not required for the SRU
** Changed in: udisks2 (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: udisks2 (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Fix Committed
** Description changed:
* Impact
- When on Hirsute with the new Samsung provided exfat support, gnome-disks
can't create new exfat partitions due to being hardcoded to use the old
mkexfatfs program from the exfat-utils package. Instead of the new mkfs.exfat
from the exfatprogs package.
+ When on Hirsute with the new Samsung provided exfat support, gnome-disks
can't create new exfat partitions due to being hardcoded to use the old
mkexfatfs program from the exfat-utils package. The solution is to use
mkfs.exfat which is provided by the old exfat-utils as well as the new
exfatprogs.
* Test Case
- connect a device to format of your choice
- $ apt install exfatprogs
- start gnome-disks
- select the device or partition to format
- select other -> exfat as filesystem type
- confirm the format
-> the device should get formatted without error
* Impact
The change is in the section defining the commands to use for exfat so
limited to this filesystem. Check that changing label or formatting is working
with exfatprogs but also keeps working with exfat-utils
