The one that comes with Debian 8: parted 3.2

Thanks for the link. After reading it I can say that's exactly my
problem. I'm glad to know it's a parted bug, because I'm using libparted
in a project and thought it was a bug in my code. But this means all the
projects that use libparted 3.2, like gparted in Debian 8, must be
failing right now, right?

Is there a way to receive a notice when this bug is fixed?
