--list option broken, segfaults (in 64 bit)

[Fabián Rodríguez]

Binary package hint: parted

It seems parted 64 bit is broken in Karmic, or at least the --list option.

This is the output I get:

device-mapper: deps ioctl failed: No such device or address

Its not clear to from your bug report what command you were having an issue with but I guessed 'sudo parted --list' and was unable to recreate this bug on Karmic or Lucid on multiple amd64 systems. Am I trying the right command?

[Fabián Rodríguez (magicfab)]

I can't reproduce this anymore on the same system.

[Fabián Rodríguez (magicfab)]

Marking fix released as updates seem to have taken care of it.

i just experienced this same issue here on ubuntu 10.04. same exact output running "sudo parted --list"

I'm also on a 64-bit system:
root@piglet:~# cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS \n \l

root@piglet:~# uname -a
Linux piglet 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:28:05 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
