done Erased 2 sectors
The fault is that it said it erased 2 sectors. The funny part is that it mentioned that the sectors won't be erased.
I would expect either that the erased message gives the actual erased sectors (0 in this case) or that the erase aborts if there are protected sectors (preferably before it does anything, so check upfront for all sectors).
Aborting seems to a bad idea to me - skipping the protected sectors is much more useful, as you can for example do things like "erase all" without need to know exactly where protected sectors might exist.
As for the reporting of erased sector numbers: Please feel free to submit apatch.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
