[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#727201: gnome-disk: Error creating partition

[Adnan Hodzic]

Package: gnome-disk-utility
Version: 3.10.0-1
Severity: normal
File: gnome-disk

Hello,

When I try to create partitions or remove them (doesn't matter which
filesystem), I get a following error:

------------------------------
Error creating partition

Error creating partition on /dev/sdb: Error spawning command-line `parted
--align optimal --script "/dev/sdb" "mkpart primary ext2 1MiB
320072933375b"': Failed to execute child process "parted" (No such file or
directory) (g-exec-error-quark, 8) (udisks-error-quark, 0)
------------------------------

After this I installed "parted" and I was able to create/remove partitions
again.

Thus to eliminate this error I advise you to add "parted" in list of
dependencies for gnome-disks.

Please inform me if you have any comments or questions,

Adnan
