Here is the output:

I also tried to run tests with '-v' (i.e., verbose) and got a different
output:

331 tests OK.
5 tests failed:

1 test altered the execution environment:
    test_site

Python is required by GLib, which is a leaf dependency of GNU Parted.
So I would prefer to push Python without tests and spend more time on
Parted.  (GNU packages are preferred, right?)
