Bug#443962: Using partconfig without partman

Hi there, thanks for the hints!

The problem is that parted thinks that my partitions overlap.

Can I use fdisk to de-overlap my partitions (the end-cylinder and the
begin-cylinder of the next partition are identical!)?


The bug 418704 you mention above indeed sounds related, but wasn't
resolved.

Here comes the output of parted:

Error: Can't have overlapping partitions.
Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.

And here goes fdisk:
