Package: parted
Version: 1.6.24-1
Followup-For: Bug #298020

The docs may have been improved with regards to 'hfs', but
contradictions exist.

It says in 'README.Debian', (other file systems omitted):

    Filesystem      |        Supported Operations
                    |detect |create |resize | copy  | check
    ----------------|-------|-------|-------|-------|--------
    hfs             | *     |       |       |       |

Whereas '/usr/share/info/parted.info.gz' from 'parted-doc' 
says, (other file systems omitted):

    6.1 File Systems Supported by GNU Parted
    ========================================
    
    Filesystem   detect   create   resize   copy   check
    hfs          *        *        *


Another problem, 'changelog.Debian' says the manpage was improved:

    78-parted (1.6.21-1) unstable; urgency=low
    87:    - Added mention of HFS and HFS+ resize feature in manpage. (Bug: 
#275650)

Where?  The manpage doesn't contain the string 'hfs':

    % zgrep --ignore-case HFS /usr/share/man/man8/parted.8.gz; echo $?
    1

Maybe some patches were misplaced?


Hope this helps...
