Package: parted
Version: 1.6.23-3
Severity: important

Hi,

today I wanted to create a new partition since I need additionl disk.
Since I've already 3 primary and 1 extended partition, I wanted to
increase the extended one. So I thought about moving the last primary
partition with fat32 (windows) 10 GB. Every time I tried to run the
move command, I got this errror:

Partition number? 4
Start? 26GB
End?  [40GB]? 40 GB
Error: Can't have the end before the start!
(parted) move
Partition number? 4
Start? 26GB
End?  [40GB]?
Error: Can't have the end before the start!
You found a bug in GNU Parted.  Please email a bug report to bug-parted at gnu.org containing the version (1.6.23), and the following message:

Assertion (geom != NULL) at ../../libparted/geom.c:100 in function ped_geometry_destroy() failed.
Ignore/Cancel? c
Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition.

Somehow parted seems to think that 40GB is in front of 26GB, which
seems rather stupid to me. If you need any further details about the
layout of the disk, I will only reveal them in private.

Christian

Version: 1.6.24-1

"Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!"
This bug appeared because command_line_get_sector did not
set the allowed range of sectors when the default value was
taken by the user, so the values used for describing this
range during the program operation after that point were
unspecified and near to random ones...
This could happen with any command.
