The new partition overlaps with another partition

[Ralf Haller]

Hi everybody,

when I try to print the partition table with parted's print command I
get the following error message:

"The new partition overlaps with another partition"

I just want to display the partion and haven't added any new partition.

Here is the output of fdisk:
