Binary package hint: gparted

I run gparted and I try activate/deactivate swap partition. Then it crashes. This is the output:

~$ sudo gparted

This happened to me while I wast using the Gusty (7.10) live CD for an installation. When I tried to deactivate the swap partition gparted crashed. When I restarted gparted, the swap partition was deactivated.
