Description Jerrod Frost 2021-03-31 17:59:44 UTC
KPMcore has fixes to the new way FAT partitions labels are handled. FAT partitions are no longer allowed to have an "empty label". Labels can be cleared and labels can be created, but they cannot be "empty". Due to this change in dosfstools, this breaks installing to EFI systems for Calamares or any other installer that uses KPMcore. 

KPMcore-20.12.3 works fine in my experience and fixes the issues with dosfstools changing FAT labelling behavior. Would it be possible to mark stable?
