Thanks for the logs. The problem seems to be your partition table is 
recognized by parted as "loop" instead of "msdos" (don't ask me what it 
means).

This problem has been seen before and is being worked on. Don't expect a very 
quick fix though.

I will merge this report with #249371 which is about the same problem.
