Bug#218690: partitioner: Unable to start mac-fdisk

["Chris Tillman" <toff1@cox.net>]

Package: partitioner
Version: 0.10
Severity: important
File: partitioner

I was using the Halloween version of the powerpc netinst CD.

Partitioner offered the right path to use for my disc, but
failed to start the partitioning program. It stated the 
correct path in the error message too. On console 3, there
was only:

Nov  2 04:44:17 (none) user.info partitioner.postinst[1569]: INFO: Using architecture depend fdisk configuration! 

I retried, and the error repeated except now at [1598].

I switched to console 2 and accomplished partitioning with 

mac-fdisk /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0

I suspect it has to do with recent archdetect changes.
