Hi Team

There appears to be some garbage output or issues when running gparted from
a command line,  Are the errors below harmless or indicative of a deeper
issue?

The requested output:

The below errors showed up when attempting to resize a pendive with the
following steps:
1, Shrink the first partition by about 280 MB
2. Moving the extended partition up
3 Moving up and resizing the swap partition

The goal was to leave some extra space at the end of this pendrive so I can
copy the contents onto other 64GB pendrives if needed.  The operations seem
to have completed successfully.
