mac-fdisk: statusexplanation |

Can you confirm whether you are filing this bug against 'fdisk', which is part of 'util-linux' and is at version 2.12r-4ubuntu6.1 in all builds of Dapper (i386, amd64 and PPC), or 'mac-fdisk', which is different to fdisk, and is currently at version 0.1-13 and only available on PPC anyway? |

mac-fdisk, gnu-fdisk and util-linux fdisk are 3 separate pieces of software. The versions of mac-fdisk currently in Dapper, Gutsy, Hardy and Intrepid are all based on the same upstream source version (which will all return "0.4a2" when you run "fdisk -v"). You probably see differences in featureset between Dapper/Hardy because you're not running the same fdisk at all (ie, you might be running mac-fdisk in Dapper and gnu-fdisk in Hardy). You can fix this by installing which ever one you want.
As I said before, updating something as basic as util-linux to provide a version of fdisk with a slightly higher version number will not happen in a stable release, so I'm closing this bug report.
Thanks |
