[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#992286: libguestfs0: Please move from exfat-fuse and exfat-utils to exfatprogs

[Sven Hoexter]

Package: libguestfs0
Version: 1:1.44.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi,
with the release of bullseye we've the in kernel exFAT driver available.
If possible please remove the dependency on exfat-fuse and change from
exfat-utils to exfatprogs for the filesystem utilities. That would enable
us to drop the fuse driver soon.

If you make extensive use of special parameters of the filesystem utilities
there might be changes required. exfatprogs is a codebase created by Samsung while
exfat-utils was a completely independend implementation by another developer.

Regards,
Sven
