I discourage anybody to use such a strange tool and instead to follow my
advice [1] to do it the good old Linux KISS principle way. Btw. this
thingy seems to work with MBR only.

In addition the OP didn't give enough information and the posted message
doesn't lead to a moved boot partition issue. We even do not know if the
OP is using GRUB.

I asked the OP "What did you make with the free space, after deleting
the partition?" [1]

FWIW using GParted the OP would have been warned when moving a
partition.
