Update gparted to 0.6 in ubuntu 10.10

[Andrew]

Binary package hint: gparted

Update gparted to 0.6 as the current version is out of date and does not support large sector sizes.

Debian has 0.6 since July 30
http://packages.debian.org/sid/gparted

0.6.2 has been released but debian has not updated yet.

0.6.0? Doesn't that contain two ugly bugs?

Debian updated to 0.6.2 yesterday
Please update package before ubuntu beta release, or at very least before RC, so it solves the bad bugs in 0.6.0 version.
Especially since I'm pretty sure gparted is installed by default on livecd/liveusb. Wouldn't want people screwing up partitions due to the bugs in old version.
