I just updated my patch for trusty to workaround the "timed out" issue.

usb-creator uses udisks2 to format the partition table, and udisks2 uses wipefs to erase the old partition table. However in trusty wipefs only support erasing partitions but not partition table. So instead of backporting the wipefs from utopic to trusty I think it's simpler to use parted to do the job directly in usb-creator.

With this update we no longer need util-linux to be backported.

Here is the patch:
