[EN] Warning: util-linux/2.40-6 has serious error

[Pip]

In case you're updating, make sure you're not updating this just yet (though putting it on hold caused even more worry with fdisk and others to be removed). It's being looked into now. I suggest waiting a while.

from the bugreport
[...]
util-linux-extra gained the utils ctrlaltdel, fsck.cramfs, fsck.minix,
mkfs.bfs, mkfs.cramfs, and mkfs.minix. In util-linux-extra, these now
reside below /usr/sbin while they used to reside in /sbin in util-linux
in bookworm and earlier. Hence upgrading from bookworm to sid can cause
these files to be lost.

So we are already on sid not bookworm and before!
I do not think, that will affect us.

I updated my system from bookworm to sid/trixie long ago, and so all others should done too!
