(Keep in mind that I am on a Gentoo amd64 install. Originally I thought that was why I got the error since qtparted is not marked amd64 or even ~amd64.) I originally got error as well. It was actually a parted-1.6.6 error, not qtparted. Try calling parted on a console as root and see if you get the same floating point error. Once I accepted the ~ARCH keyword for parted I installed parted-1.6.15 which works fine. I then re-emerged qtparted (accepting x86 keyword) and it works fine as well, except for one other problem which I will be posting a bug report after I test Knoppix's qtparted to make sure what I'm asking for isn't impossible (ReiserFS partitions don't move or resize). Perhaps parted-1.6.6.ebuild should be masked or at least downgraded to unstable. Oh and by the way if the ebuild maintainer sees this, yes qtparted-0.4.4.ebuild does build and work nicely on amd64 (other than that Reiser problem, which people on x86 are talking about on the chat boards so it's not just my platform), so you may want to consider adding an ~amd64 keyword to it once we get parted-1.6.15 to keyword amd64 status (or at least once you mask parted-1.6.6). I had a problem very similar to this on i386. After some fiddling, I managed to determine that it was crashing when it scanned and found the CD-Rom device. When I Removed the cdrom device node, it worked. This is not a fix, but, I'm curious if your issue is the same. I left it after that, as I realized the program is really only mostly working anyways (it's pretty much unmaintained upstream). Assigning to maintainer-needed@ as livecd doesn't use this package. package masked and is going away soon *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 140792 *** I'm taking this package on. Mine, all mine! Please try the new qtparted-0.4.5, see if the problem persists, and report back here (and re-open the bug). |
