Are you sure?  I recently ran into print not showing anything with
Parted 1.7.1 on INSERT rescue disk (this is Knoppix-based, I don't know
whether they use Debian patches).  The issue has also been reported on
FreeBSD, IIRC.

  The table code is new, and although I tried hard to eliminate any bugs
(also with Valgrind), it cannot be guaranteed.

  Is the problem gone when using a non-patched version?
