[opensuse-arm] Problems with Parted
Hi all, I installed parted on a fresh install on a RasPi using zypper. The version in the armv5tel repository is 2.4-29.1. This version has a bug as I was trying to make a new partition on the SD card to expand the free space after copying the image to the card using dd. The following text is from the output trying to make a new primary partition: (parted) mkpart primary 29744,0,0 60503,3,31 You found a bug in GNU Parted! Here's what you have to do: Don't panic! The bug has most likely not affected any of your data. Help us to fix this bug by doing the following: Check whether the bug has already been fixed by checking the last version of GNU Parted that you can find at: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/ Please check this version prior to bug reporting. If this has not been fixed yet or if you don't know how to check, please visit the GNU Parted website: http://www.gnu.org/software/parted for further information. Your report should contain the version of this release (2.4) along with the error message below, the output of parted DEVICE unit co print unit s print and the following history of commands you entered. Also include any additional information about your setup you consider important. Unable to determine the size and length of /dev/mmcblk0_part1. I went around this and installed from source v.3.11 but I had to solve for dependencies: util-linux-ng (which I had to install without ncurses even though it was already installed), termcap and readline. This last one crippled zypper, so I had to reinstall readline. My question is, why is it that the parted rpm in the repositories is not the latest one?
