If you are experiencing difficulty installing a Debian package then we suggest you ask your question on a Debian forum.

For GParted we highly recommend booting from media containing GParted Live.  This will enable all the features of GParted as all the optional packages are included.

Thanks a lot! I think we used gparted-live-0.25.0-3-i686.iso, it should be right version. We can boot successfully, but cannot proceed after set up mode

Could it result from poor network connection? Can we install successfully without internet connection?

Attached is the snapshot of the issue:

The GParted Live image does not require an Internet connection.

GParted Live 0.25.0-3 is quite old.  Currently the latest version is 0.32.0-1.  We suggest you update to the latest GParted Live.
