Bug#856973: lvm2: Internal error: Bad format string at 'update in progress'

[Marc Lehmann]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.168-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

after upgrading to testing, dureign which I overrode my lvm.conf with the
debian one, I re-enabled lvm2-lvmetad, which was previous masked.

Now, after every boot, I get internal errors:

   # systemctl status lvm2-lvmetad

I also noticed that commas such as pvs communicate with lvmetad, but then
proceed to manual disk scanning (I know because this can take 30s on this
machine), but that might be unrelated.

Other than that, I didn't see any problems afterwards, so this might be a
cosmetic issue.
