It seems that the latest version of Parted requires the latest version
of device-mapper library and headers, otherwise building parted-2.1
results in an error:

arch/linux.c: In function '_dm_maptype':
arch/linux.c:440: error: implicit declaration of function 
'dm_task_set_major_minor'
make[3]: *** [linux.lo] Error 1

The dm_task_set_major_minor function is in libdevmapper.h since version
1.02.33.

However, devmapper sources which used to be hosted separately on
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/dm/ , after version 1.02.28 were integrated
into LVM2 (ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/lvm2), so now they are built
together with LVM2.

Looks like the lvm2 and libdevmapper debs must be upgraded first.

** Package changed: parted (Ubuntu) => lvm2 (Ubuntu)

** Package changed: lvm2 (Ubuntu) => devmapper (Ubuntu)

** Package changed: devmapper (Ubuntu) => parted (Ubuntu)
