TEST CASE:

3. The gparted window disappears again and the terminal contains the following crash output:

aborting...

4. Update to the fixed package and try again
5. Gparted finishes scanning without crash and is ready for use

You are using parted-2.3
Please, upgrade your system and particularly your parted package to the 3.0 version.
gparted has been built against parted-3.0
