GParted fails to launch from the GParted menu icon.

Hi Mukundan, Unfortunately with your update to GParted 0.23.0 you have added hard RPM dependencies on hdparm and btrfs-progs. Both of the these are purely optional dependencies. Perhaps the Release Notes weren't entirely clear on that fact. In DPKG packaging they would be suggestions, but RPM only has hard dependencies. A hard dependency is definitely wrong for btrfs-progs and probably wrong too for hdparm, depending on what you packaging rules say or your point of view. GParted uses file system specific tools when they are available and the View -> File System Support dialog shows which tools are installed. These are not hard dependencies so should not be set as such in the RPM package. (The package does not have hard dependencies on other file system specific tools such as e2fsprogs, dosfstools, mtools, xfsprogs, etc. Nor should it). hdparm is not a hard depandency for GParted either. Making it so in the RPM package ensures that GParted can display hard drive serial numbers, which is only nice to have. I don't know if the Fedora packing rules would require removal of the depandancy or whether it could remain to ensure the user has a this nice to have feature. Thanks, Mike Fleetwood (GParted Developer)
