Overview

Request 223837 accepted

- Update to new upstream release 0.8.9
* Three new type codes.
* The verify (v) function now checks for MBR partitions (the 0xEE
protective partitions or hybrid MBR partitions) that don't fit
on the disk.
* The GPT-destruction options (z in gdisk, -z and -Z in sgdisk)
now wipe out the final few sectors on the disk rather than
wherever the backup GPT data are recorded as being. This is done
to prevent wiping out data mid-disk, which can otherwise happen
if a RAID array is resized in certain ways and the GPT data are
not moved prior to wiping the GPT data.
* The FixParts program had developed a bug in which it complained
that the 0xEE partition didn't begin on sector 1; this version
fixes that bug.
* Finally, this version removes the dependency on libicu for UTF-16
support in partition names.
- remove obsolete libicu dependency
