Package: parted
Version: 1.6.6-9

While installing sarge (with d-i) on an ARM based Rebel Netwinder, I
saw the following note in syslog:

 | GNU parted was miscompiled: the FAT boot sector should be 512 bytes.  FAT
 | support will be disabled.

Seems that something in parted is broken on ARM.

16:16 < kyllikki> luther: the fat issue is yet again someone assuming
all arches have packed structs..
16:18 < kyllikki> luther: ie the size of a struct its testing
somewhere is not marked as packed
16:20 < kyllikki> luther: eg __attribute__((packed))

Package: parted
Version: 1.6.16-1

This has been fixed in 1.6.16 by adding a packing
attribute to the union in FatBootSector.
