Public bug reported:
I'm using parted's "print" command in a pipeline in a script. This
usually works well, but I just had an instance of the error
Error: The backup GPT table is corrupt, but the primary appears OK, so
that will be used.
This should be followed by the confirmation line "OK/Cancel?" but it
lacks a newline and the pipeline retains it in a buffer, so the user
sees nothing.
So consider this a few feature requests:
- Since the message says the primary "will be used", just go ahead and do that.
- provide options to assume "OK' or to assume "cancel".
- provide a command to repair the broken GPT table with the good one.
