In case I forget I wanted to report a bug with parted where Control-C is tr=
eated as an OK response.  I was testing how parted handled a corrupt primar=
y GPT and was rewarded with parted asking if I wanted to use the backup GPT=
 instead with the prompt: "OK/Cancel? " I typed Control-C and it took it as=
 an OK response.


$ parted fu print unit s print unit chs print

WARNING: You are not superuser.  Watch out for permissions.

Error: The primary GPT table is corrupt, but the backup appears OK, so that=
 will be used.

Thanks for the report, it looks like we've got some places where
ped_exception_throw return values aren't being checked properly -- ^C
should generate a PED_EXCEPTION_UNHANDLED and I see a number of places
that don't take that into account.

I'm not sure this isn't actually intentional.  What should parted do
when run in scripting mode?  There all exceptions are unhandled, so a
sane default action must be taken.  I think this particular error
really should be a warning, and the default is to proceed, using the
backup copy.
