If there is no btrfs partition, I don't understand why btrfs tools should even be installed, except that the btrfsprogs package seems to be a dependency for GParted (why?), so I can't get rid of them without losing GParted.
Perhaps that too is a bug?

If that is the case and that is hard wired into GParted then I think there is a bug in the architecture of the modularity of GParted. This my be sufficient but it it is not necessary.
No, it is a missing feature :-) The program may be modular and ask you to install other modules at run time if you request do something on a filesystem that it doesn't support with the installed software (maybe recommending them at install time), or may depend on them all at install time. It is a design choice, not a bug. Maybe you can install it with broken deps and try. See what happens when there is a non supported partition type. Does it handle the situation nicely? Then dependencies can be changed to recommends. Me, I like it supporting all possible types from the first minute. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
