Comment 31 for bug 141516

phinn, this bug is about gparted and it has been fixed there for Hardy and Gutsy (through gutsy-updates, this is why it crashes on the LiveCD, too - unless you've updated it).

For parted, please file another bug. Please note that Debian has only 1.7.1-5.1 in unstable, too.
More recent releases are in experimental: http://packages.debian.org/experimental/parted

The new gparted release is only 5 days old! I'll look into getting it into Hardy. Thanks for the info.
