[sorry about the delay -- nearly missed your message]

Thanks for the report.
You can do two things:
  1) get the very latest upstream sources
  2) if the problem persists, run the failing test(s) in verbose mode

Get the latest like this:

    git-clone git://git.debian.org/git/parted/parted

[to build from checked-out sources, follow the instructions
in the README-hacking file]

If the tests fails with that, too, please do this:

    cd tests && ./t0000-basic.sh --verbose --immediate

and report back here with the output it produces.
