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. -- Brian C.
