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.

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?:
