If you mean that it shortened the extended partition to the end of the 
last logical partition that's easy to fix.  Free space doesn't care 
whether it's in an extended partition or not.  cfdisk would probably 
handle that invisibly.

Sounds like ordering is important--php-psql isn't enabled until after 
psql is turned on somewhere.  That would be worth filing a bug against too.
