GParted fails at creating SWAP partitions

If you try and create a SWAP partition using GParted it will fail because it tries to run the command: mkswap -L "" /dev/sda2 which returns *instructions* on how to use mkswap. The proper command is simply: mkswap /dev/sda2
Why is that?

-L "" is trying to ensure that any label is removed.
mkswap in the base is a busybox applet which does not support the label (-L) option.
If you load
util-linux-ng
it should work.

Beautiful, just tested it and it works. The SwapOff command in GParted also now works. Thanks!
