unable to run gdisk from gptfdisk package

[realyukii]

I want to list the current partition layout on my bliss os that run on top of qemu, so I install root-repo and gptfdisk package, but now I'm unable to run gdisk, the error says (from adb):

Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009):/ # export PATH="$PATH:/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin"
Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009):/ # gdisk -l
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "gdisk": library "libuuid.so" not found: needed by main executable

I use a workaround that I think more appropriate in my case:

qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O raw Bliss11.qcow2 /tmp/Bliss11.raw -p

and now I can use fdisk on the host:

$ fdisk -l /tmp/Bliss11.raw
Disk /tmp/Bliss11.raw: 64 GiB, 68719476736 bytes, 134217728 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

/tmp/Bliss11.raw2 1026048 134215679 133189632 63.5G Linux filesystem

and mount the image, if you want:

[reyuki@archbtw blissOS]$  sudo losetup -Pf /tmp/Bliss11.raw                                                                                                                                                                                                      (2 results) [0/126]

[realyukii]

The alternative I heard is using the nbd kernel module and the qemu-nbd command; I haven't tested it though.

[realyukii]

even though I don't need gdisk anymore, if anybody willing to explain the cause why libuuid.so is missing and how to fix it, I will mark the post as answer.

[licy183]

This is a bug. gdisk should depends on libuuid. I'll fix it.
