Package: parted
Version: 3.2-4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Connect a USB stick.
Open a terminal and type
"parted --script "/dev/sdf" "rm 1""
* What was the outcome of this action?
Warning: The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but
Linux says it is 512 bytes.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Partition should be deleted.
Tried deleting this partition with gnome-disks but internally it seems to use
parted so I tried it directly as mentioned above.
This stick works without problems in Wheezy !

Looking at the disk image, it seems your disk has a mac partition
table on it that claims to belong to a disk using 2k sector sizes.
This triggers the warning you saw, which is treated as fatal when in
- --script mode. Don't use script mode and you should be able to blow
the whole partition table away and create a new, correct one with the
mklabel command.
