Package: gnu-fdisk
Version: 1.2.4-3+b1
Severity: normal

Hi,

One of the features I use frequently from the fdisk in util-linux is

  # fdisk -l /dev/sd?

to explicitly list all the partitions on all my disks (and thereby
ignoring MTD, LVM, MD etc. devices). On util-linux fdisk this
works. Using gnu-fdisk, this command stops after the first disk found
(/dev/sda for me), which is substantially less useful.
