I installed these packages from your site:

libparted1.6-13_1.6.25.1-2.1_i386.deb
parted_1.6.25.1-2.1_i386.deb

Then I ran QTParted, and the problem still seems to exist.  I've attached 
fdisk's output and a screenshot of QTParted.

Thanks for your help in solving this bug.  Please let me know if I can help 
more.
