Package: util-linux
Version: 2.12r-19etch1
Severity: normal

I would like to view/edit dos/windows partitions on an external USB
drive.  A default powerpc debian install installs the mac-fdisk package
to supply the fdisk command.  However, mac-fdisk only supports apple
partition maps.

There doesn't seem to be any way to install the 'regular' fdisk on the 
powerpc architecture.  While I understand that mac-fdisk should be the
default /sbin/fdisk on this architecture, it would be nice if the
util-linux fdisk was also provided under a different name.

Thanks.
