Package: exfatprogs
Version: 1.1.0-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: ahei...@gmx.com
The package is missing a symlink which allows to call mkfs.exfat as mkexfatfs.
At least the GNOME Disk Utility relies on this symlink, which is present in
exfat-utils - it calls mkexfatfs -n <device> when trying to format as exFAT.
Manually creating the symlink helped fix the problem.

Hi,
since the parameters are not compatible, changes in the disk utility are unavoidable. The -n you mentioned for setting the label is -L in the exfatprogs implementation.
