Package: util-linux
Version: 2.12r-10
Severity: normal
Hi,
When I needed PC fdisk (to repartition my iPod), I was at first unable
to find out where to get it. Only after a long search did I find out
that it was already available as ddisk. It would be nice to have this
documented somewhere. Maybe in a README file accompanying both
mac-fdisk and util-linux?
Also, fdisk is (a symlink to) mac-fdisk, but the fdisk man page links
to the ddisk man page instead of the mac-fdisk man page.

Since the above noted version the fdisk utility no longer does
funky things on ppc architectures. The same behaviour should now
be expected across all architectures. I'm thus considering this
bug report handled.
