Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: parted
parted thinks I have overlapping partitions:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo parted /dev/sda
GNU Parted 1.7.1
Using /dev/sda
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) print all
Error: Cannot have overlapping partitions.
however, take a look, there is no overlap (apart from all the partitions
within the extended partition but thats normal)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo cfdisk -Ps /dev/sda

Whats REALLY scary is that gparted shows the disk as not being partioned at
all! I coulda lost all my data.
it should have passed on the error instead of assuming no partition.
