Package: parted Version: 3.2-21+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? I'm trying to make a script that creates a system image with partitions. As I'm working with an image file, I do not need root permissions. But every start of parted makes it complain: sh: 1: dmidecode: not found WARNING: You are not superuser. Watch out for permissions. Example invocation: dd if=/dev/zero of=reform-system.img bs=1M count=8000 /sbin/parted reform-system.img mklabel gpt * What outcome did you expect instead? I find it unusual for a unix/linux command to complain preemptively about not having root permissions, especially if they are not necessary. Parted should also not try to use dmidecode if dealing with a file, IMHO. *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: armhf, i386 Kernel: Linux 4.16.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages parted depends on: ii libc6 2.27-3 ii libparted2 3.2-21+b1 ii libreadline7 7.0-3 ii libtinfo6 6.1+20180210-4 parted recommends no packages.
