Hi. I have a similar problem. But with no overlapping and no bad numbering...
Even gparted shows the whole hard drive in a good condition, with all partitions on it, without any spaces etc..
But my "disk-utility" (palimpsest) doesn't work and shows me this error:

"**
libgdu:ERROR:gdu-pool.c:2369:device_recurse: assertion failed: (depth < 100)
Aborted"

This is my "fdisk -l":

So still something with "omitting empty partition (5)".
Last time I used Paragon software to change sda2 partition filesystem from ext4 into ntfs.
Of course I did some modifications to the Grub2 menu in order to make it load again, after that.
There is no OS on this partition, only data.
Automounting of usb devices doesn't work, but linux finds them - just no automounting.
I checked it with "lsusb".

What can I do now? Is there any idea to fix the problem?
