Package: parted-udeb
Version: 1.8.8.git.2008.03.24-11.1

I got the following message while installing with a daily image
(maybe due to #530904):

  ┌────────────────────────┤ [!!] Partition disks ├─────────────────────────┐

I'm not sure who displays this error message, but the error itself
comes from parted.

What's not great:

 - The "ERROR!!!" string that doesn't really say anything at all.

 - The choice "Ignore" and "Cancel".  I guess "Ignore" is "go ahead"
   and "Cancel" is "go back", but there's a "go back" already.

 - When I press "Go Back", it actually goes ahead to format the
   partition (which worked fine).
