Description:
Package core/syslinux 4.05-4 should have extra/gptfdisk as an optional dependency, as the program requires it (sgdisk) to work with GPT type disks.

Steps to reproduce:
> attempt to install syslinux using the included script (syslinux-install_update) on a GPT disk.
> the script will display the error "FAILED to set the attribute Legacy BIOS Bootable on /dev/sda1", where /dev/sda1 is the partition containing /boot.

This likely also applies to the i386 package.
