Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
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

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