[parted-devel] [mac] parted is unable to reread partition tables created by d-i/partman.

[Sven Luther]

Package: parted
Version: 1.7.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


When creating a mac partition table (on a 64bit powerpc XServe G5 machine),
with todays d-i daily build, parted 1.7.1 is not able to show the resulting
partition table. It recognizes the partition table as a mac partition table,
but shows no partitions.

The partitions show up just right inside partman though, which uses libparted.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
