[Parted-maintainers] Bug#536400: gnu-fdisk: Original (c)fdisk man pages become unavailable

Package: gnu-fdisk
Version: 1.2-1
Severity: important

After installation of gnu-fdisk, original binaries of fdisk and cfdisk are renamed to fdisk.distrib and cfdisk.distrib
Man pages are also renamed but to fdisk.8.gz.distrib and cfdisk.8.gz.distrib.
That makes them unavailable by man and probably unreadable too (because of gz extention).

They should be better renamed to fdisk.distrib.8.gz and cfdisk.distrib.8.gz

Regards,
Damien
