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

# uname -a

# 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

$ md5sum parted-1.8.1-static

Why aren't you using the version provided with Debian? I'm not sure
exactly which version wheezy included, but I'm sure it was newer than
1.8.1 and buster has 3.2

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=parted&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

The version you are trying to use is ancient, and I would not recommend
using it at all.
