Comment 1 for bug 664275

Assuming that 'Triaged' means ignoring 'the effected few' in favour of 'the uneffected many', here is a work-around for 'the effected few', which effectively replaces Mint-10's GParted 0.6.2 with Mint-9's GParted 0.5.1.

In an installed LinuxMint-9, use Synaptic to completely Remove 'gparted', ReStart and then use Synaptic to Add back 'gparted'. It's then possible to run Administration, APTonCD and select just Gparted in order to 'Burn' or create an ISO file that contains just 'gparted_0.5.1-1ubuntu3_i386.deb', which should be saved to an accessible drive.

Then, after installing the new LinuxMint-10, use Synaptic to Completely Remove 'gparted' and double-click on the saved DEB file, Close the 'later version is available' message and 'Install Package' which will install LinuxMint-9's version of GParted.

(This version then doesn't insert 1MiB of unallocated space that can cause problems and which I understand has been created to meet the demands of the new SSD drives that can be used instead of hard drives.)

If you want to retain this old version of GParted and not have it replaced by later versions, then use Administration, Update Manager, Edit, Preferences, Ignored packages to Add 'gparted'.
