Comment 9 for bug 796865

This bug was fixed in the package parted - 2.3-6ubuntu1

---------------
parted (2.3-6ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - gptsync.patch: On Intel Mac systems, write a synced MBR rather than a
      protective MBR.
    - Add -fno-stack-protector on sparc.
    - loop-partitions.patch: Loop devices can only have one partition, so
      don't generate device names such as "/dev/loop0p1".
    - udevadm-settle.patch: Run 'udevadm settle' either side of rereading
      the partition table if not chrooted, to avoid a variety of races.
    - dmraid.patch: Ensure that device-mapper devices for dmraid arrays do
      not have extra nodes created needlessly, as well as making sure that
      partition nodes for dmraid devices are not probed.
    - fix-head-size-assertion.patch: Fix probe_partition_for_geom() to fail
      gracefully rather than abort with PED_ASSERT().
    - dm_p_separator.patch: Device mapper type should not automatically mean
      add 'p' before the partition number. Fall back to adding it only if
      the previous character is a digit. This complies with kpartx behavior
      and Linux behavior "since the dawn of time".
    - remove-dev_t-dep.patch: Remove incorrect code from arch/linux.c that
      made assumptions about the meaning of dev_t causing mounted partitions
      to not be identified on dmraid devices and extended partition numbers
      >= 16.

parted (2.3-6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Backport from upstream:
    - Accommodate two-component Linux version numbers like 3.0
      (LP: #796865).
  * Rewrite package descriptions and add a Homepage field (thanks, Justin B
    Rye; closes: #615124).
