Package: util-linux
Version: 2.20.1-5.7
Severity: normal
File: /sbin/cfdisk
Dear Maintainer,
I've tried three versions of Debian and all fail to correctly detect the disks
on
my new machine. I've tried 'stable' x86 and amd64, and 'testing' amd64. I
have 2 2TB disks formatted as NTFS which I want to repartition. However the
intaller (cfdisk?) claims that the 1st drive has two partitions (300MB and the
rest) - it doesn't it only has one, and the 2nd drive has no paritions and
no data - that's also wrong it has one partition with data on it.
I can't install Debian on this machine and I'd really like it to be dual-boot.
Please advise.

Version: 2.25-1
Hello!
The new util-linux v2.25 contains a completely rewritten cfdisk program
which is now based on the new (lib)fdisk code. This means cfdisk should
now work equally well as the new fdisk and hopefully the reported bug
should be gone.
If you still see the problem you originally reported with the new version
then please do reopen the bug report and provide some additional information
about it.
Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
