[Bug 1352252] Re: Exception during partitioning whilst utopic server installations

[Colin Watson]

The bzr repository has been dead for some time.
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/parted/debian/parted.git/commit/?id=11ccc7136ada703a3dcf932609023392c5bbf95f
is the fix, or at least reasonable workaround; I uploaded that to Debian
in 3.2-2, which will be auto-synced into utopic shortly.
