Package: partman
Version: 0.30
I just tried the new partman (0.30, on mipsel with msdos labels), and
have some problems. Basically, it shows the whole hard drive, but
does not display the invididual partitions - even though it obviously
recognizes them because partman leaves some lines empty. When I
select an empty line, I get a window showing information about this
partition. But then I get the next problem: even if I tell partman to
format the partition, I am not able to specify the file system or
mount point.
Look for yourself:
This is an overview of your currently configured partitions and mount
points. Select a partition to modify its settings, a free space to
create partitions, or a device to initialise its partition table.

The empty lines are actually partitions.
When I choose the 4th line, I get:
You are editing partition #4 of IDE1 master. This partition is
formatted with the ext3 journalling file system.
Partition settings:
