GPT partitioning and MBR repair software

Edit Package gptfdisk
http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/

Partitioning software for GPT disks and to repair MBR
disks. The gdisk and sgdisk utilities (in the gdisk
package) are GPT-enabled partitioning tools; the
fixparts utility (in the fixparts package) fixes some
problems with MBR disks that can be created by buggy
partitioning software.

- Update to new upstream release 0.8.9
 * Three new type codes.
 * The verify (v) function now checks for MBR partitions (the 0xEE
   protective partitions or hybrid MBR partitions) that don't fit
   on the disk.
 * The GPT-destruction options (z in gdisk, -z and -Z in sgdisk)
   now wipe out the final few sectors on the disk rather than
   wherever the backup GPT data are recorded as being. This is done
   to prevent wiping out data mid-disk, which can otherwise happen
   if a RAID array is resized in certain ways and the GPT data are
   not moved prior to wiping the GPT data.
 * The FixParts program had developed a bug in which it complained
   that the 0xEE partition didn't begin on sector 1; this version
   fixes that bug.
 * Finally, this version removes the dependency on libicu for UTF-16
   support in partition names.
- remove obsolete libicu dependency
