I just completed a one-by-one update of all the packages listed for
update; i.e. updated packages individually. The only ones that failed
were:
parted.386, and
pyparted.i386

I assume this is the partition editor?

I tried deleting and re-installing the parted package... removal worked
OK, but installation failed. So I guess I now have no partition editor?

Thanks,
