Well, the software is under development and not considered stable. The fedora.us package also includes a fix (or two), one for the proper detection of partitions and their occupied space. To the best of my knowledge, the author has neither confirmed nor accepted the patch. He has turned silent after he had promised to look into it and a bug in his code. > Even if there is something not perfect with the RPM, qtparted should > work properly though. No. That's what the "testing" repository is for. If code maturity is uncertain and the software needs [much] more testing from more users, it's put into "testing". If early reviewers find the software has serious flaws and crashes under certain circumstances, for instance, it can be published into "unstable" nevertheless. --
