Package: gnu-fdisk
Version: 1.2.2-1
Severity: serious
As you can see from the output below, the package FTBFS with an up to
date sid system:
,----

| checking for libparted - version >= 1.7.0... UNKNOWN-dirty, bad version string

| rbr...@chagas:/tmp/gnu-fdisk-1.2.2$
`----
While it is trivial to make the configure step be bypassed, since we
have a suitable library, the program (even if I use the updated 1.2.3
version from upstream) still segfaults with a memory leak.
Running it under valgrind shows a scary leak. :-/
Here is the output of a 1.2.3 compiled version:

`----
Apparently, the string used there is causing the strlen to run out of
bounds.
