Description Eduardo 2021-10-04 14:19:02 UTC
Description of problem:
timeshift operations using BTRFS fail with error:
E: ts: Failed to get partition list.

It behaves as it were starting in usb rescue mode only.

The error is due to a change in lsblk (util-linux). Versioning format changed colons to underscores (MAJ:MIN => MAJ_MIN)

Discussion about the error can be found in timeshift github:
