Thanks for testing it.
The fix is to print a correct partition number.

It is a bug in response to 'cfdisk -Ps', it shows a wrong partition number.

It is a valuable diagnostic message by itself, the only tool that gave
us a warning
about a partition problem (after anaconda partitioning tool refused to
even touch
the disk, recommending a wipe-out of it).
We were able to repair the disk and save most of the installations.
We enjoy having both tools, cfdisk and fdisk.
