[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#610260: partitionmanager: partition type is not updating when filesystem change / formating

[Maximilian Gerhard]

Package: partitionmanager
Version: 1.0.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze sid upstream

Partitionmanager does not change the partition type if you change the
filesystem (e.g. format from ntfs to ext4). Only when changing NOT when delete
and recreating the partition.

see fdisk -l the ID column that shows the partition type (e.g. 7 for ntfs)

I have reported that bug already upstream, see
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=263346

This report is only to track the bug on the Debian side.
