Package: gparted Version: 0.4.6-2 Severity: wishlist When I run gparted on a system without ntfsprogs installed, I get the warning sign on NTFS partitions because gparted can't work on NTFS partitions without ntfsprogs. That's all fair, but the explanation for the warning sign is
"Unable to read the contents of this file system! Because of this some operations may be unavailable." while it would be much more informative if it read "ntfsresize --info failed for this file system. Check that ntfsprogs is installed" or something like that. I know that there is a "Suggests: ntfsprogs" on gparted in Debian, but I still think this error message should be improved. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gparted depends on: ii hal 0.5.13-3 Hardware Abstraction Layer ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.1-1 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.0-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libglibmm-2.4-1c2 2.20.1-1 C++ wrapper for the GLib toolkit ( ii libgtk2.0-0 2.16.6-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a 1:2.16.0-2 C++ wrappers for GTK+ 2.4 (shared ii libpangomm-1.4-1 2.24.0-3 C++ Wrapper for pango (shared libr ii libparted1.8-12 1.8.8.git.2009.07.19-5 The GNU Parted disk partitioning s ii libsigc++-2.0-0c2 2.0.18-2 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++6 4.4.1-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages gparted recommends: ii gksu 2.0.2-2+b1 graphical frontend to su Versions of packages gparted suggests: pn dmraid <none> (no description available) ii dmsetup 2:1.02.37-1 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii dosfstools 3.0.5-1 utilities for making and checking pn jfsutils <none> (no description available) ii kpartx 0.4.8-15 create device mappings for partiti ii ntfsprogs 2.0.0-1 tools for doing neat things in NTF pn reiser4progs <none> (no description available) pn reiserfsprogs <none> (no description available) pn xfsprogs <none> (no description available) ii yelp 2.26.0-3 Help browser for GNOME -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
