wic: make engine.py:get_partitions() resilient to parted/dmidecode stderr output
Running wic commands on Debian 10 systems fail in scripts/lib/wic/engine.py:get_partitions() due to new stderr output captured when trying to parse the output from /sbin/parted as a non-root user. The parted command calls the dmidecode utility, which produces this error as a non-root user: /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/smbios_entry_point: Permission denied /dev/mem: Permission denied scripts/lib/wic/engine.py:get_partitions() calls misc.py:exec_cmd(), a subprocess wrapper which returns a combined stderr and sdtdout. These messages to stderr confuse the partition table parser in get_partitions(). This patch has the partition table parser ignore lines before the expected "BYT;" header string. Running wic in Debian 9 does not have this issue. Signed-off-by: Geoff Parker <geoffhp@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
