Thanks for the report.
Did you invoke partprobe yourself, or did some other tool?
Please run this command as root and report its output:
parted -s /dev/sda unit s print free
(assuming /dev/sda is the disk for which partprobe failed)
If that parted command didn't work, can you tell us more about your disk?
Model, size?
