Hello Christian, ...

I guess it will be taken in account by the autobuilder, ... will check the
diff though, but i think it is not that that is causing me the problem, ...

I have a problem with amiga-fdisk-bf that don't appear in amiga-fdisk, and
that is that any changes done to the partition table are ignored (even when
just printing the table with p). Do you have this also under m68k ?

Also, is Frank, the official amiga-fdisk maintainer still active ? I think
not, since almost two years only NMU have been made (by me and you and james
...)
