On the forum a user said that he looked for parted in the addon list and couldn't find it.

I then looked in the wiki and parted is still shown as being an addon, no mention of being a core program.

Then I looked in the lfs and it has a PAK_VER number which is what addons usually have so I didn't look at the rootfile or its location.

Looking back at the git history, I see the move from packages to common in 2014 but the lfs file was not altered to remove the PAK_VER number or the @$(PAK) line. That is what confused me.

I will raise a patch to make the parted lfs file be inline with a core program and will also modify the wiki.

Obviously when I did updates of parted it didn't click in my mind that I was updating the lfs as an addon but the rootfile was in the common directory. Oh Well!! Brain must have been on autopilot.

Regards,
Adolf.
