I wanted a later parted than comes with the machine I am working on.  So I 
downloaded it, but it seems it has a bug related to temp file usage, or 
perhaps some kind of synchronization error?:

# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Debian
Description:	Debian GNU/Linux 7.11 (wheezy)
Release:	7.11

# wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/static/parted-1.8.1-static
# md5sum parted-1.8.1-static

# chmod +x parted-1.8.1-static
# ./parted-1.8.1-static
parted-1.8.1-static: can't open file '/tmp/upxA0DIZXFAYFN (deleted)'

I tried this on another machine:

$ lsb_release -a

$ uname -a

$ wget http://wlglam.fsmg.org.nz/pub/gnu/parted/static/parted-1.8.1-static
$ md5sum parted-1.8.1-static
def7525b360666c654c7d1bb4d89d2a7  parted-1.8.1-static
$ chmod +x parted-1.8.1-static
$ sudo ./parted-1.8.1-static
parted-1.8.1-static: can't open file '/tmp/upxCOKJJYTAFQ1 (deleted)'
