[Parted-maintainers] Bug#379405: parted does not always display partitions

[Michael Tautschnig]

Package: parted
Version: 1.7.1-2.1

As shown below, the partition table is not always shown, depending on the units
being used. This is probably related to #369583, #374001, and others.

Regards,
Michael
