I've uploaded this alleged parted fix from Debian, on the basis that it's very
difficult to get a system back to a reliably testable state after experiencing
the bug, and this change seems to be otherwise safe; I think the best we can do
is watch to see if reports of this problem fall away from now on. I'm
downgrading it away from release-critical, but not closing it, until we know more.

parted (1.6.9-3.1ubuntu3) warty; urgency=low

  * Backport from Debian (closes: Ubuntu #1566):
    - Added backported CHS BIOS geometry fix.
      + libparted/disk_dos.c (read_table, process_bad_chs): now probes
        Microsoft file systems for BIOS CHS geometry. This idea was
        suggested by Steffen Winterfeldt <email address hidden>.
