Description Nico R. 2015-10-03 17:07:24 UTC 
GParted (sys-block/gparted-0.23.0) crashes due to a bug in libparted (from sys-block/parted-3.2) when trying to resize a FAT16 partition.

See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735669 for discussion.

Patch is in upstream Git repository: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parted.git/patch/?id=1e9e770f4bc7f3d80e09ecd1df58575fad064163

I tested it, it works with sys-block/parted-3.2, the GParted crash is gone. Simply apply it after the two other patches in the ebuild.
